I love it when I discover someone working hard to help heal the world. The byline of Dadbriefs.com, where Slade Wentworth shares his work, is “Food. Fun. Fatherly Wisdom. Recipes for Resistance” – which perfectly encapsulates this funny and inspiring site.

Check it out. It will make you think, it will make you smile, and it may propel you into the kitchen to cook something wonderful for your family and friends. 

There’s something deeply American about mac and cheese. It’s comfort. It’s family. It’s the thing you make when you want everyone around the table to feel safe and cared for…That’s exactly the feeling I want for every kid sitting in a classroom in this country. Safe. Cared for. Set up to succeed.

Here’s another wonderful site to add to your list if you need a daily dose of awe (and who doesn’t?) …

Astronomy, as nothing else can do, teaches men humility.

Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008):

It’s the beginning of spring migration in the Northern hemisphere. At its peak there will be hundreds of thousands of birds flying over you, mostly at night. 

Birdcast.org is a wonderful site from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (also the makers of eBird) that provides data and tools for you to wonder (and feel wonder!) about this beautiful spring event.
