Chad and Eric picked me up from the airport as I returned from North Carolina after a few days with my brother and his family. On the way back, we stopped for lunch. During the conversation, Eric commented that he and Chad had held much different views from each other back when…
why we do: part two
In yesterday's post, "why we do: part one," I told you about my life-saving efforts with three baby birds and the questions this raised. If you haven't yet read that post, I would suggest reading it before this one, so as to make the most sense of things.

going beyond
I was talking with a graduate today about magical thinking. I told her that I always believed the ocean was alive and liked me best. I believed it was really there just for me, but that other people just kind of got to go sometimes. I'd be lying if I said a part of me…
