http://norcalextraordinary.blogspot.com/2009_09_15_archive.html

Out of the ordinary comes the extraordinary—a tiny paradigm shift— your reality is changed. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. I've learned to be more careful with my words. This past April, I saw my husband fretting and stressing over taxes. I warned him, "You need to relax or you'll have a stroke.". Of course, I was exaggerating, but a week later he had a stroke.

http://norcalextraordinary.blogspot.com/2009/09/race-relations.html

Out of the ordinary comes the extraordinary—a tiny paradigm shift— your reality is changed. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Crashing Asilomar waves broke on wet sand, spraying us with cool sea air. We huddled in the dunes, four white kids, four black. Strangers, all of us, wanting to reach out but not sure how.
