Ace here! Last Friday was a big day for me. You see, that was the day Josh officially became my real dad! I’m here to tell you how it went down: First of all, I was sooo excited because so many of my favorite people were there for my big day! My mom was so …

I wonder, sometimes, what it means to make good art. I wonder what good art really is. Josh’s grandma paints beautiful landscapes, and when I see them I am almost there – hiking those mountains, crossing those streams. That is good art.
