We’ve got rain in the forecast for tonight and I’m hoping it arrives. The break from the heat is so welcome especially since I just spent five days in Utah where the air was so parched and nasty I couldn’t wait to return to Oregon. Trouble was it was 97 when we landed.  Color me thrilled to be under cloudy skies.

But I’ve stopped by to suggest you read this moving and heartbreaking essay about brothers  published in The Sun and written by Doug Crandell. Every detail has weight and potency. I hope it inspires you like it inspired me.

As for Crandell, I’ve been spending time at his website trying to decide which one of his books I’m going to buy first. He’s just so good. Someone we can all learn from.
