I remember the moment I awoke to the awareness that I was an abolitionist.  I was in a small hot room in 2002 on the other side of the world.

Wow.  15 minutes ago, the CT Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed S.B.

When I was in my 20’s I used to ride with friends on bike tours through the Green Mountains in Vermont. Two years ago I participated in a charity bike ride for Love146 and was quickly reminded that I’m not in my 20’s anymore. After the first few long hills I thought I might end up actually being the object of charity.

A few years ago I was on a lunch date with my wife at a great local Thai restaurant. After lunch, we walked over to the Yale University Art Gallery for the rare opportunity to see a special exhibit of Vincent Van Gogh’s original Cypresses and The Starry Night.  I’m not an art connoisseur, but The Starry Night took my breath away.
