I don’t. I think he’s good for us. I’ve taught high school for two decades and see “Idiocracy” in our future. Willful ignorance, myopia and a willingness to distort established truths (“What about all the Irish slaves?!”) have been growing by leaps and bounds in the last decade. It astonishes me. My only succor is the…

I teach elementary school students. Here’s how I handle it-

One of my (religious) friends asked me a while ago how I became atheist when I was born Catholic and attended Catholic schools for 15 years. Honestly, the question stumped me, and it took me more than a week to come up with a response. In the end, I came up with something like this:

Unconfirmed sources report Pablo Sandoval was spotted breaching just off the starboard side as the boat docked.

its getting late and I know I can’t respond to everyone as much as I would like to. I’m thankful you were all here tonight. I’m thankful for your stories. I’m humbled that you’d take the time to write me back. I’m going to bed realizing that I’m doing ok and I need to stay the course. You really helped me to look at…

It’s weird. He is going to be out of office soon (I won’t say gone) and I need to write him a letter.

A couple of years ago, going through a pretty rough patch, I met a fantastic person who had a profound effect on me.
