It seems like it gets harder as you get older to make new friends. And the friends you have start to fall into categories—there are the people you still talk to from high school, your college roommate, the friends you made at your first job post-college, and the list goes on.

My Annual Hike at Target Rock
I don’t know why I seem to only visit Target Rock National Wildlife Refuge in the summer, but that’s how it works out every year.
