f2fb friend #186 sonali srinath walks into the bar and EVERYBODY stares. she wears a pink dress and a smile that makes you feel like someone very gently reached into your chest and replaced your heart with tiny firecrackers. she’s confident and bold, dainty and mischievous. i hadn’t seen much of her since five years ago [...]
sometimes i like to think that this new years eve resolution has changed me. made me less afraid of the world outside my door. i’m getting on planes. i’m driving heaven knows how many miles. i have learned about people’s spiritual and personal lives. i have hiked in the mountains and sailed on boats. i’ve [...]

sometimes the logistics of this new years resolution get to me. i have friends all over the globe, sometimes they move, sometimes they even move without telling me (which might be a sign of some sort). i have two friends who live in alaska, which sounds like it makes things easier to see them, but [...]
my new years resolution made on december 31, 2009 was to among other things lose five pounds. i weighed 138. i weighed 138 on december 31, 2010 when i made this year’s resolution to turn off the computer, get off the damn couch, and find all these 335 people who are my facebook friends. my [...]
i met f2fb friend #178 josh garfinkel in chicago while he was thinking about going to law school. he and i met through a mutual friend jon levkoviz who directed my younger son eastman in a movie. josh was like an ingenue fielding offers to the prom–university of michigan, harvard, university of chicago, northwestern.
