Zerah and Manni walked to the cliff, beyond the grass out onto the jagged rocks. It was night, and it was dark, but the two of them knew this place well. They found a low place beside a boulder where they would be out of the wind. They sat down and let their legs dangle […]

Endeavour
Thu, 20 Sep 2012, 08:29 PM (-06:00)
I saw Endeavour hitching a ride west this morning. Standing in the wet grass on Auditorium Shores, we spotted it approaching from the east out of the sun. They had clearance to fly low at 1500 feet.

He’s twelve years old and has seen it all before. So in the interest of ensuring that we don’t leave without him, […]
