childhood

Beyond a Football and Me

My best friend, when we were children, could talk to birds. Or at least, we all believed he could.

The data did not say what we wanted it to say, which is the beginning of any real discovery.

The days were long, but never in the way people mean when they complain. They were long the way a good song is long.
