A good egg

My family does remarkably well in anticipating my needs and helping me in my life.

You know who is amazing at it -- my niece who goes to college nearby.

I lived with her family for a summer when she was 2, but mostly I think it is just innate compassion. Sure, she has a mouth that would make a mule-driver blush, but her mother has spent her life in a newsroom.

I can't wait to see what she, and all my nieces and nephews, grow up to be.
