How can anyone characterize himself by a single, finite list of snapshot observations, when life is so limitless with possibilities? Even now, like the Suitland creeks I sported in as a boy, I am changing and growing. I am learning and upgrading, and what meager truths I share with you today will likely be dwarfed by a great epic that is only beginning to unfold, and what will you have then?
When a creek becomes an ocean, what of the creek is left with us?
