But I was so separate in being from that feather. The feather was very much Other – totally not-me. I never felt that I could ever have my own feathers, or fly.

When I was a kid, I would find a single feather and be enraptured at the texture of the stiff-but-floppy barbs, explore how the barbs stick together but can separate (and make little zizzy noises when rubbed), and think about how these weird little things could help a creature fly.

I think that the attorney for Spring argued that because the police left out of their report that the liquid which touched a cop was water, when they knew it was water, that as a sanction the charge arising from the water squirt should be dropped. But I haven't read the motion nor heard argument.

I don't recall offhand what happened to the abductee and her family. If I can find an update on them, I will post.

I can't find it free online, but if you can, or want to indulge, Sportsnight is another well-written, amazing show that has nothing to do with sports, except when the sports are being used as a metaphor. The inspiration for naming my law firm came from the final episode of Sportsnight.
