One weird thing about documenting one's life is that doing so seems to (over) emphasize the importance of "events"...birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc....in truth, our best times together are often those times when we are doing nothing much, celebrating nothing more than another day on the planet, and the good fortune that allows us to loiter and love....
