The first time I ever heard of TDS, I thought this is what it meant.

I love your audio snapshots of hiking, lambs being born, nature, and even politics. Thanks for your work.

It ended up being more of a memoir than I’d anticipated [gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...
My parents, once they decided on a name, endured a hellish time. I was born at a bit over three pounds, two and a half months early. I suffered three cardiac arrests, a pierced esophagus, hyaline membrane disease, apnea, bradycardia and hydrocephalus. My mother nearly died from blood loss. After two and a half months in an incubator, I was taken home. My parents wouldn’t know for years how much my intellectual capacity had been compromised. That I turned out relatively fine — far more so than the other children on the floor — is due to some of the sharpest doctors in New York but mostly to stupid luck.
