Well, this is awkward. I shut this down a couple of years ago and I'm thinking about pulling it up again so I can spill my thoughts to the deep void of the internet. I guess it's my therapy, and for the past year I HAVE NEEDED THERAPY. So I'm going to take a deep breath and start again.
Since it's St. Patrick's Day, I choose to start with honoring my grandmother, who spent her 18th birthday on Ellis Island. She was brave and smart and wonderful.
