These friends of mine are the real gems in my life. Another friend died last week—though my heartache was for the friend of mine closest to him, not my own—and it brings up all the old feelings of love and loss stemming from JB’s death (9 years ago in April). It was from losing my…
Bags all packed! Fabulous new weekender courtesy of my bestie via Little Bird Consignment in Aspen. Hard to beat a place this gorgeous. North Shore, Hawaii. Grateful for the week’s vacation, relaxation, adventure, and company. Crouching Lion. Fantastic hike. Waimea Valley (including the fall) … basically an outdoor museum. $16.

Happy early wear loads of red, white, and blue day. I’m on a boat (maybe). Last weekend, however, I was on a float! Seattle! I was visiting the person I still call my roommate though she now lives in another city in another state with a different roommate aka her boyfriend. It was an absolutely…
