Merry Christmas!
Share the peace - the love - they joy - the light and life of midwinter - with your neighbors, whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, animist, agnostic, atheist, or none of the above.  Just because you may not share the same holidays doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate together.

Growing Up
This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school ...
