Wow, I’ve missed you guys. Apologies for disappearing, but trial weeks are like that, where a short day is only 12 hours. I’m heading to Maxwell AFB tomorrow for a few days, then on to Minot AFB (after 2 weeks with the Navy). This month has been alternating between teaching and court–I barely recognize my wife. No real break in sight, which is not a complaint, but a status update for sure. Also can I fill you in on a little secret? In the midst of all this chaos, I’m working on a full FHO redesign, so when you don’t see me here, I’m behind the scenes, tinkering with the guts of this thing. I cannot wait to show you. In the meantime, shall we get to today’s business? Because I’ve run across some fascinating things online since last we spoke:
Some great pieces have been written about the Ryan Lochte, et al. debacle, but this is my favorite
No stranger to the occasional 4 letter word, I found this compelling
I’ve been following friends in Louisiana as they try to keep their heads (literally) above water. Here’s how to help.
So. Good. (also, this one, because Medium is on point frequently)
I’ve said it before–I will read Roxanne Gay’s grocery list. But even if you don’t feel the same way, you really should read her latest NY Times essay about the limits of empathy.
No surprise, this.
