Unfortunately, we're not set up for child care. Do you think they can wrangle bison? Stegner is pretty awesome; Angle of Repose is still my favorite.

Um, except, could you absorb my children somehow, too? I am so thrilled to see references to Stegner, who is a bit of a muse to me. Always wonderful to find others who know his work well.

If you fall while you’re reaching for the mountaintop, it is a long and bumpy ride to the bottom. Tell people to reach for the stars. If you fall while reaching for the stars, you just might land on a mountaintop.” So dream big, you two! Climb high, climb far, etc. etc. etc.
