"We need to be clear that this is not a problem for the few of us that are sitting up here in our research labs...It is a problem for every American, every Missourian and every St. Louisan; and it's important that that's understood."

a friend recently shared that she’s having trouble getting anything done because she’s become obsessed with a very old, 1,300-page novel and couldn’t stop reading it, and it turns out the novel is War & Peace, and I just can’t give up hope on this world yet.

How do you ignore all the witches, all the curses, all the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the goodbyes, the reverses, all the wondering what even worse is still in store?

Bill was a mensch. He always delivered - as a photographer and as an involved member of many communities. Bill’s lens on St. Louis will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

for my first piece at @ringer, i wondered why in the hell bill belichick would do this? then i started reading and watching old tape, just like he would've probably.
