Something I never got about conversation pits is, when do you use it exactly. Do you hang out in there waiting for a conversation to start? Or do you start the conversation somewhere else and at some point say, "we should take this to the pit." Either option seems mortifying

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

Here's a true story about my dad. When I was little, we were on a beach in Oregon and he found a message in a bottle.
The note contained an address, with a plea in a young boy's handwriting to send a postcard and let him know how far the bottle had traveled.
