This week features a lovely (though occasionally freewheeling) conversation with my internet friend Kyle Simons. Our paths have been crossing for nearly a decade, including even singing on a song together (“I Was a Rope” by Harsh Lights), and yet this was our first time to have a true voice-to-voice conversation with one another.
