I have dear friends in South Carolina, folks who made my life there wonderful and meaningful. Two of my children were born there.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.
