On the flip side, I don’t have to prove myself at the family picnic
Yesterday I wrote a short lament about the way sports consumes so much of our lives if we let it. That’s not a total regret. I’ve gained quite a bit from sports, including the aptitudes of perseverance when called upon, … Continue reading

Have you ever been poisoned?
