And this is my friend Tiffany, and she is 26.

And we live in a retirement community.

I'm a part of of the Artist-in-Residence program at Judson Manor.

Which is a residential program where young musicians get to live here rent-free in exchange for performing recitals and concerts.

When I tell people I live in a retirement community, I get a lot of mixed reactions.

Some people don't believe me, other people think it's a wonderful idea.

I had not been a part of this community more than two days.

I was in the lobby and they told me about Tiffany.

And I walked over and introduced myself.

And I said, "Do you like dogs?"

Oh, she loves dogs.

And Tiffany and I became friends, we just formed a friendship.

We'll talk about art, we talk about clothes.

I don't wear fashionable shoes anymore, but Tiffany does, and we talk about shoes.

Laura, to me, is like a grandma, and also a friend, and a confidante.

I don't think the age difference is something that I am constantly thinking about, or that I'm aware of.

You don't think, oh, I'm having dinner with this 100-year-old and this 90-year old.

I'm having dinner with my friend Laura and Sarah.

In a way it is almost like being in a college dorm with the fact that there are so many people here from different places, from different backgrounds.

It might be a little bit quieter than a normal college dorm.

But I think we still have just as much fun.
