Since I can't really imagine what life will look like two weeks from now, I've been focusing a lot of attention on the activities of friends and loved ones. And I must say, you all are an impressive bunch! Here is a sampling of what some of you have been up to:

As C.S. Lewis said, "There are no ordinary people."
We are all, in many ways, ordinary -- but extraordinary as well. Flawed and magnificent. Thank you all for living your lives and for inspiring me!
