But, he’s also written a nonfiction book, “Every Knee Shall Bow” (1995), based on the 11-day standoff between government officials and the Weaver family at Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992 — an event he covered as a reporter for the Spokesman Review. And that’s where our conversation begins.

I was religious once, as a child, if you can call it that. I was taught that life is eternal, both before and after the brief moments we spend on Earth. I don’t specifically remember whether or not I was comforted by that idea. I think I was too young to ever think about death.

Yesterday, while I was sitting in the library, a text alert woke up the tired screen of my phone, accompanied by a buzz: “i can’t believe we register for the last time ever tomorrow,” it read. “that’s crazy.” It made me pause.

The summer of 2023 was a great season for uncomfortable films to watch with your Japanese father. I was unsure of how he’d react to “Oppenheimer,” considering we’d only gotten back from Hiroshima the month before. I even tried watching less controversial movies with him, but he slept through Itami’s “The Funeral” and played on his iPad while I watched “Hausu.”

Mom’s minivan — many of us rode in it at some point growing up. Whether it was your own family’s minivan or that of a school friend, at some point everyone has sat in a minivan on their way to some sort of practice, rehearsal, training, etc. For those lucky few that got to take this vehicle to college, we ended up with probably the best college car in existence.

My mom sends me about twenty text messages every day. Most of them are pictures of our French bulldog, Stewart, who has now become her certified best friend while I'm away at college. Almost every morning, I can rely on getting a text from her, wishing me a great day with a bitmoji she thinks looks like her.
