In the middle of her chaotic schedule in town this week, we managed to schedule some time to sit down and catch up.

Feelings and anxiety received an extensive, video games and literature–tinged treatment and we had another potentially family-ending argument this time about Credence Clearwater Revival; Patrick and Colin sang the Crossfire jingle and we...
