Summary: I remember when I graduated from high school. It was a great day. It was a sunny, hot Friday. Some of my family had flown in for the occasion. I had on a super cute pink dress.

Summary: I kind of hate it when people ask that question. First of all, I have no idea. Second of all, why does it matter whether or not I can answer that question?

Summary: Earlier last week an email showed up in my inbox. It pointed out a problem, a mistake, an issue and it gently suggested that I was the one to blame and thus, the one to find a solution.
