Going gray is like ejaculating: you know it can happen prematurely, but when it does it comes as a total shock.
I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.
If you learn the language of loss early, I think you seek out others who have experienced the same thing, who speak that same language of loss.
Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
We heard church bells ringing. We heard people yelling, screaming, clapping. A friend of one of the miners came over, crying, to tell us that he had heard and just been told in the church that 12 of them (miners) had been found alive.
Those of us who were here and have had the privilege to cover it, and to witness these triumphs and these tragedies, will never forget it and will carry it with us. That's part of the fear of leaving, that people will forget and coverage will go elsewhere. And there are so many answers we need to get.

Their salt-and-pepper figurines that they had collected were sitting on the shelf untouched.
Does the federal government bear responsibility for what is happening now? ... Should they apologize for what is happening now?
That is incredible news. Again, if this turns out to be true... we have not been able to independently confirm this... but the family members have been told... that the 12 miners are alive.
