Death and Life in a Hospital
I wonder if many people still name their children after the great men and women of the past or have modern historians poisoned that well too. I named my daughter after Theodore Roosevelt not so much for his policies (some of which I disagree with) but in honor of his zest for life and fearlessness…

When I Die I Want to See the Passenger Pigeons

Photographs Like Tombstones Scattered On My Desk
