On one of our first dates, we watched The Princess Bride, a favorite movie for both of us. Years later, we had “as you wish” engraved in our wedding bands. Those chosen words rest against my skin every day.

LinkedIn feels like the post-classroom version of Blackboard, especially with its suggested responses. I’m having “write a post and respond to two classmates” flashbacks.
