PHILOSOPHY

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert A. Heinlein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the Big Island of Hawaii, we hiked out to see the point where the Kīlauea lava flows into the ocean. There's an enormous plume of steam and the ocean boils. We stayed out there until after dark and you can see the lava glowing red in the darkness. Highly recommended, but also somewhat dangerous, take care.
