I took Annie to the park today. She loves the park. She loves to swing, play in the sand pit and run through the maze of wooden passageways. But mostly, she loves chasing the birds and the ducks down by the lake. She tells me, with a very serious and determined face, to stand back [...]

You wouldn't know the kid in the corner goofing off with the other 17-year-old guys could play Silent Night on the violin so effortlessly, so beautifully, that an entire gymnasium full of inmates would sink softly into the sound of beauty and freedom and they would forget they were in prison...

I am coming up for air on the back half of the most strange season of my life. So many things have happened in such a short time. A short time that feels like an eternity. 365 days. How can they feel so torturously long and so incredibly fleeting in the same breath? At the [...]

He and grandma had three acres of land on the outskirts of Ellisville, Mississippi where my grandpa taught calculus, trigonometry, and electronics [...]
