Big questions, small boy
Will the sun burn out?
What about when we die, will it burn out then?
Will our truck and our house still be here when we die?

Thanksgiving
Thank you all for being here and listening and filling my days with little shreds of wonder and kindness and encouragement.

C) Eat anything offered to him including any and all [...]
