I am super proud of the amazing work my senior citizen writers accomplished this year. My elders have taught me so much. What an honor it has been to serve them.

Last night my daughter and I had the most amazing and intense conversation. She is the only person in the world I can really have that kind of painfully deep conversation with. She knew me when...
