About a year ago, maybe a bit more, I popped an e-mail to three of my closest women friends, who hadn't met each other, and asked them if they wanted to get together once a month to share celebrations and provide support for the various challenges we were facing ( Read more... )

Nick and I just realized - well, I realized and Nick concurred - that it's been a really long time since we went bowling. Any good lanes in the area? Anyone down for joining?
