To my daughter, Jessica. It was ten years ago today that she had balloon-angioplasty at the tender age of six. She came into this world with three heart defects which required surgery. This surgery was required to let her scar tissue grow like she did. We should have known how much she would change our…
Perspective matters. When you live in a two-dimensional-world, perspective matters even more. Perspective helps me tell how far I am from other cars, where a hand is that I’m about to shake, when I’m close enough to the drive-up ATM. it even helps me determine the lengths that I need to go to in order…
