"... there are many things I personally disagreed with him on, but he always reminded me of the very best of Catholicism." I love this essay for beautifully articulating what is that "very best of": advocating for the powerless, standing up for the weak, and defending kindness without any caveats.

The skateboard worked! Helena High School mock trial teams finished first and second at the state tournament this weekend and are now on their way to the national tournament in May. I’m so proud of their smarts, diligence, and supportive teamwork!

This is my first year coaching a high school mock trial team, and it really feels like I’m showing up to practice every week as Steve Buscemi with a skateboard.
