Last night I called Tree. Now while that might not seem unusual, let me describe the situation: I am in Atlanta. Tree is in the Dominican Republic. I picked up my cell phone, dialed her Chicago area phone number, and talked to her. How the internet has changed “international”! She and Daniel have Vonage, so they have a local phone number to their parents, which means I can call her on my cell phone and not worry about massive international…
This past weekend was quite exciting and busy, and something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time now. Last August, I decided to sing in my church’s Christmas cantata as a way to meet people, have something to do, and indulge in a little hobby.

I am going over to the house of an old friend who now lives in Houston, but has returned to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with her family. I’m excited to see her again! Ten years ago (when we were in 7th grade), Mrs. Kirschner and my mom got together and decided that since their two daughters were…
