Thanks for the vignettes. Many driving practice memories elicited, both with my parents and with my children. All 3l have thanked their dad for teaching them how to drive a manual transmission; one child spent 12 years in the Army and had no trouble with driving the motor pool vehicles (when they ran, but that's another story...)
I am so sorry for what DBH is going through. ISTM that ancient Christianity, both RC and EO, have the best resources to help one, but it's still tough. I wish I had enough money to pay all his bills. The priest at Annunciation in Norway was a pastoral intern at my parish in CA for 2 years; he and his wife are the best, and we dearly love him & his family. So happy God is blessing their ministry.
Addison has become something of an intellectual hero to me much in the way that his “more famous younger brother” is to you (a fact that I think is clear to any reader of your Substack so I love that you make no apologies for it. Our admiration for those who have impacted us should be stated proudly). Hearing these kinds of stories about him warms my heart. They say never meet your heroes but some do sound so very worth meeting.
What a lovely reflection!
Thank you!

Wish you could have been there with both of our heroes. Thanks for the kind note!
