From NPR

I've been spending a lot of time during the week prepping food for our weekend market-- rolling spring rolls in particular. To pass the time, I listen to a lot of NPR. There's always something interesting on and a lot to learn about. I'd like to share something I heard this afternoon. All Things Considered interviewed a group of Iraq and Afghanistan vets, many of whom are disabled, as they climbed Yosemite's Half Dome to honor the anniversary of Sept. 11th. One of the soldiers who lost his leg reflected on how he didn't know when he set out that day that he would be injured and said, "Death is kinda around the corner just about everywhere you go. You can't choose how you're gonna go. But you can choose how you're gonna live." Thought it was a good reminder to keep things in perspective.
