我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once saw the horizon at sunset, an open expanse of ocean, stretching from deep black in the east, shadowed under dark thunderheads, passing through shades of purple and blue to reflect the pink and golden hues of the sky in the west, shimmering off the waves. Whales spouted and let their flukes dip into the air before diving down into the sea, and the mist they exhaled shimmered in the dying daylight. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

教，学，和分享

I can monologue for hours about John Milton and Thomas Pynchon. Interested in a historical analysis of the influences of the German Sturm und Drang on the British Romantic period? I got this.

Want to know about almost-forgotten deities from obscure pre-Incan cultures? I know of a couple.

Wilderness survival? Scuba diving? I've got some stories to share.
