(I was only flying on that day because I had hurt my leg hiking the Windsor Trail in Santa Fe on the 8th and couldn't walk so I pushed my flight back a day from the 10th. So badly bruised and swollen was my quad muscle that I kept my leg up the whole flight on an empty seat beside me, with an ice bag perched on top.)&nbsp;</p><p>When we landed in St. Louis around…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/home/blog/7333984/god-bless-everyone-no-exceptions-a-favorite-bumper-sticker-9-11-11">Read more</a></span></div>

Information about the wiring of neurons, cross-cultural recognition of musical "meaning," the progress made in studying the brain, etc.&nbsp;</p><p>I got into bed next to my son, Max, after watching the show, and took his hand.

I've got this very pious, self-admitted "VERY far right" couple living down the street from me who used to wave and make small talk when I would walk by with the kids and the dog. Until I ran for the State Senate in 2004, that is. My views on abortion and same sex unions became very public knowledge at that point so, what once had been a warm, neighborly, eagerly-given smile, became an icy, wordless…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/home/blog/7333977/calgon-aka-jesus-take-me-away-5-22-11">Read more</a></span></div>
