On Personal Tragedy, Love, and the Election

John Gruber

Given the circumstances when I went to bed Tuesday night, it was no surprise I was welling up with tears come the morning. But I’d never have expected they’d be tears of joy, with a sense of hope — however diminished — and abiding love in my heart.

This is, without a doubt, the best piece John Gruber has ever written.

Please take the time to read it. John weaves a very personal tragic moment into the tragedy of the election. I cannot get over how great it is. John really is a masterful writer. Wow.

Thank you for sharing such a beautifully written, thoughtful, and personal piece right when we all needed it, John. ✪

Calvin and Hobbes and Taylor

Last week someone was talking about Calvin and Hobbes. It’s a comic I love as well and have a fairly old book of them.

Anyway, Kim showed me one back in the 90’s and said “This is Taylor.” Taylor is our youngest daughter and I saw the likeness instantly. It’s 100% her. She’s a goofy kid and I love her for it. 😄
