Twenty years ago, I was flying from Denver to Telluride, Colorado. 

It was a small plane. Buddy Holly planes, I call them. I could see…

I had two days until I left to visit my daughter’s college in Florida. 

It was time to prepare.

As in, time to watch…

Or an apostrophe, am I right, guys? An apostrophe!

Ahem. Anyway.

I thought Hallmark Christmas movies were, well, inferior.

Not byzantine, like Game of Thrones. Or witty like The West Wing.
