Roses are red
Shoelaces use eyelets
If you need this to rhyme
Boom – we've got violets

"Terrible things are happening outside.

Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart.

Men, women, and children are separated.

Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

- Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

I saw my aunt this weekend. I always admired her growing up: she was a dedicated dancer, bird watcher, traveler, and general arts-enjoyer. I took up ballet and piano because I wanted to be just like her.

I just found out that she started all of those hobbies after she got sober in her 40s, shortly before I was born. Her defining characteristics, in my eyes, have occupied less than half of her life.

It was a nice reminder that you can start a new chapter of your life whenever you’d like.

My boss asked me "what new skills do you think web developers will need in two years", which gave me an opportunity to tell her about my recent efforts to learn urban foraging and how to identify edible plants in my neighborhood.
