I just became aware that I have a new reader-- my dear friend Lexie. Lex has been my friend since preschool, when she would come over to my house and run around wrapped in curtains eating the best grasshopper cookies that her mom would pack. Lex is a twin and I love her sister Kate just as much! Both of them moved to Boulder shortly after I moved to Steamboat and I enjoyed sharing the state with a few of my longest friends. Lex moved to Oakland, California about a year ago for grad school & I miss her a lot. Welcome to the blog, Lex!
