Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on each flight? They’re single-serving friends.

I think this was science class. I think this was before the test.

This is my son Andres and his 2nd cousin Lucita. She is Heidi’s daughter. Heidi and I grew up together and are best friends. Andresito and Lucita, however, just seem to stare at eachother and hug a lot. They both like popcorn.
