My niece went off to college. We stay in touch through Facebook, texting, and we even spoke on that old-fashioned telephone contraption one time. Listening to her describe her day-to-day, I realized how nearly undecipherable our lives have become from one another. Our calendars look so similar in fact, I challenge you to determine whose is whose.
