Darius was a friend of mine at Swarthmore. I learned more from him than from any other single person there, faculty included. This is an extremely important book.

A Fire Next Door

Some excitement in our neighborhood yesterday — it’s been so dry that our neighbor’s lawn caught on fire. We suspect a sparkler dropped by neighborhood kids.

Kelsey saw the fire and told Cheryl and me. We came running across the street — our neighbor is 89 years old and frail. I pounded on the door, and Kelsey alertly found Esther in her back yard. I put out the fire with a hose.

Wow — like living out west with wildfires!

It’s pretty exciting when you make a change to your home that’s visible from space, or, at least from an aerial photograph. We just removed the brick pavers and deck that took up the entirety of our back yard and replaced them with sod. I will be watching Google Earth to see when they update this image!
