Two-step approach to preventing the next Germanwings disaster - Reuters
Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 11:26PM Chris and I have an op-ed up about the Germanwings disaster and mental health screenings at Reuters.
It's also been chosen as The Aspen Institute's best idea of the day for April 1st. (And it's not an April Fools' joke.)
Even the Red Sun
Friday, December 12, 2014 at 01:49PM It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes.
--Gustave Flaubert, born today in 1821
The Most Irreplaceable
Wednesday, November 26, 2014 at 10:37PM Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.
--André Gide, writer
This is a Placeholder
Tuesday, November 25, 2014 at 10:38PM Now -- after the Austin protest in response to the grand jury verdict in Ferguson, MO -- is not a time for my voice to be the one that talks. Now is a moment when I listen. This is a placeholder where I might later put photos from the peaceful protest. For now, I keep reading.
