One thing I'm hearing over and over during this time of harboring in place (ie. lockdown and curfew) is that people are losing track of the days.  The struggle is real!  Is it Monday? Saturday? The 7th? The 12th? David shares a fun lesson in Fr
As we sit at the table recording today's episode, there's a flock of seagulls next door at the Food Lion.  They've been "vocal" for several days now.  What gives? Also, have the doldrums? Could the game of chess be the answer?

Kristen and David had an unexpected hiatus from THIS IS THIS.  Apologies!!!  Life got the better of us, schedules were bananas, and Kristen had the world's worst cold.  Blech. No one needed to hear that up close and personal. David and Kristen
David and Kristen are back! Sorry we've been out of it for a few weeks. Too much to tell.  But one thing we want to tell... We had a wonderful truth and reconciliation conversation with the ER doctor who discharged Kristen when she was paralyze

We have talked about "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Today we are asking, "Why do good people do bad things?" Kristen and David have a philosophical conversation about this very topic.  We also have the benefit of enjoying some notes
David and Kristen spend some time talking about adversity and conflict they have experienced as children and then as adults.  How did they handle it as kids?  And as adults?  What's different?  And what would they say to their younger selves? W
