• Inflatable Slides, Thinking for Myself, and Smelling Others – Thoughts from July 22, 2024

  

  I saw a billboard from the freeway that was advertising an inflatable slide that you could rent for your party. The billboard was in Spanish, so I don’t know what it actually said. It made me smile because Patti was talking the other day about getting an inflatable slide in our backyard. She saw that…
