Even though there’s rarely anything interesting or unexpected, I still love to get the mail. A magazine, a package from Amazon, even a packet of coupons from my grocery store – it’s like when I was a kid and would grab the prize in the cereal box before my little brother could get it. Though

When I was 13 I was a pretty good tennis player. I spent summers as a child at Camp Birchwood for girls in Vermont, where most of my time was spent on the tennis courts. The lake was gross because it was filled with seaweed and fish, I didn’t like volleyball, and rest period, when

Back when there were record players and 33 RPM albums with creatively rendered covers that opened like books, I collected and listened, read the liner notes and knew the words to hundreds of songs by heart.
