Fathering, teaching, and writing duties have kept me from posting. Sorry for that - but there's more than enough to read out there, already. I'd like to save this space for when I've really got something to say. Being obligated to post every day would mean having to pull something out of my butt, no matter what.

Graffiti and optimism

radio essay.] We had done nothing to earn it, but the Saturday after Hurricane Katrina was a beautiful day around here. I talked one of my children into running an errand with me. As we drove up the block we came upon a lemonade stand where a couple of kids were raising money for the hurricane survivors. I stopped the car and asked for two drinks and a giant cookie we could share. We were the first... From
