The day after graduation at Miami University in Ohio, I took a run through campus.
I talk with my friend Arthur twice a week, and each conversation starts the same way.
Let me first say I love what's going on with Grandma Betty, the Indiana octogenarian turned Instagram star.
I'll admit it: I love a good to-do list. When I've got a lot on my plate, or even when I don't, there's something so satisfying about crossing things off as I go.
I saw Nebraska over the holidays with my boyfriend and his mom and my mom. It was a rather odd double date, come to think of it, but this isn't about that.
The other day, one of Arthur's former students commented on an interview we did months ago with Eileen Fuentes, founder of The SPEACH:
I didn't know what to expect from my long-distance friendship with Arthur - but it wasn't this.
There was one about a blind date. There was another about keeping kosher, but sneaking BLTs. And then there was one about our family's store surviving the Great Depression thanks to help from a friend.
"Are you sure?" I asked my uncle. I looked around the basement and waited for the catch.
One Friday last month, I finally broke my news to Arthur.
