My friend Jimmy called them finger friends.
The ones you'd trust with everything. The ones you can count on one hand.
New on Substack today on the friendships that matter, and why a few real ones is enough. https://t.co/hSdMptGfmE

I went to UCLA. So yes, this weekend meant something.
But what moved me wasn’t the score. It was Lauren Betts talking about being put on this earth not just to score points.
Wrote about it today. https://t.co/ZJmRdfrysX #GoBruins #NCAAChampionship #Substack

Wanted to write since childhood. Spent decades being respectable instead. The dream never went away—just got louder.
