WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T FOCUS ON PROCESS? The other weekend I built a sandcastle. As some of you may know, building a sandcastle is one of my favorite things to do.

I made my first friend, Jack, when I was 4 years old. Unlike many friendships at that age which either begin at school or through parents, Jack and I met organically: I was singing “It’s a Grand Old Flag” to myself on my porch at the shore and he walked up and said hi. From

HOW I KNOW YOU’RE A CHEATER “Now?” I yelled exasperated, taking it all in. I stood outside a cab in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, suit soaked in the hot, Argentine summer rain. Maria gave me a malicious smirk and cozied up closer to my friend. “Come inside and dance with us!” She laughed, kissing
