* approx age 6-7: unwrapping a Nintendo entertainment system (part-time English teacher single-parent mom but investment banker uncle) * a few years later: same thing with SNES * middle school: coming back from a small ski trip and starting to read John Grisham novels. * college: staying over one break in western mass. Biking to Hadley mall where they had an Amy’s cheese pizza and bringing it back to the German house that had an oven. * mid 20s: watching whatever odd PBS documentary while hanging out with my mom. * early 30s: my aunt’s lasagna and extended family meals we took for granted at the time. * late 30s: good news after a fertility journey. * early 40s (today): my wife and I using our decade of experience navigating edge cases when filling prescriptions to help my MIL fill an important heart medication so she didn’t have to go to the ER for Christmas.
