A Borrowed Moment of Significance
I'm about to cheat . . . but it's okay because I'm doing this to stay WITH you, Think Kit, not LEAVE you! Day 17: Share a moment that stands out. My most significant moment of this year wasn't really even mine--it was my 6-year-old son Oliver's. His first day of kindergarten. Oliver is our …

Last night, I had goals. I was going to make a Really Awesome Venn Diagram for a Think Kit post. I was going to shut off all the lights in my living room save for my Christmas tree, lie on the floor and listen to the new Burial EP over and over at a mind-numbing …
