I saw this great program called The Teachings of Jon. It was this incredible show that followed this family who raised (and is raising) a man named Jon with downs syndrome and the joy that Jon brings to eveyrone who meets him. Read this article about it.
It reminded me of our Robbyn and was such an excellent program. My goodness.
interests include: jet-setting, fast-tracking, expensive jokes, close talking, punny jokes, silly dances, big favors, peanut butter sandwich crackers, public speaking, public sleeping, dark blue, filibusters and those who filibuster, picnics, the thing your excited about right now, soda making, most-things making, telling embarrassing stories to put you at ease, hammers and nails, being a fancypants, makeshift ottomans, sporks, being very obvious about eavesdropping and maybe joining in uninvited, lunch by myself, finding things, "chicken, steak and chocolate cake", assonance, consonance, alliteration, jokes with strangers, jokes and meta-jokes like Russian dolls each nestled inside the other, what it means to be entire, crabs, duckpin bowling, old bay, natty boh and all things baltimore, dive bars in the morning, searching out kindness in others, searching out kindness in myself, clean sheets, clean socks, when you make things like music or art or a comment that was unknowingly beautiful or poignant, teaching and learning, whiskey and rootbeer, the sound of words and your spoon in the coffee: tink, tink, tink-tink, dead presidents, rocky balboa, underdogs, people watching, poetry, and napping. thank you.
