Discretion and good cheer.
Their responsibility to the friendship.
Their ability to open a bottle of wine.
Being able to share a confidence.
My ability to invariably say exactly the wrong thing in any given situation.
I would talk slower. When I hear myself interviewed sometimes it sounds like I’m running an auction.
Eating breakfast foods at a time of the day other than breakfast. Pancakes for dinner—I’m happy.
It’s hard to pick one time. I feel like I’m quite a happy person. My ninth birthday was epic, though.
