A little bit of beauty and hope in what's been a heartbreaking week: I love this StoryCorps (I've listened to it....uh, 5 times?): "Colbert Williams was just 16 when he became a father and then had to raise his son as a single dad. Now Colbert is 30, and his son, Nathan, is a teenager himself. Recently the pair talked about raising kids."Image: source.
I like crazy new music as much as the next guy (well, maybe not quite as much), but when the going gets rough (or good, or just confusing), I pretty much come back to the same 3 albums I have loved since high school (and, in one case, middle school): "August and Everything After" (Counting Crows), "1200 Curfew" (Indigo Girls), and "Graceland" (Paul Simon). Maybe not the coolest line-up, but I wouldn't trade these for anything. (Oddly enough "Dookie" (Green Day), which I SWORE I would love forever, didn't make the cut....)
Love the Hand Drawn Maps Association, and this kids map of NYC.

Seriously, those are three good albums. I could road trip with you! (I'm loving your blog by the way. I'm trying to think where I learned about it. Maybe Sal?)
