The quicker we humans learn that saving open space and wildlife is critical to our welfare and quality of life, maybe we'll start thinking of doing something about it.

I have a lot of memories of Falls Church. I went to grade school in Madison Elementary School.

Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded.

The biggest challenge is how to affect public attitudes and make people care.

I did not want to raise a genetically compromised child. I did not want my children to have to contend with the massive diversion of parental attention, and the consequences of being compelled to care for their brother after I died. I wanted a genetically perfect baby, and because that was something I could control, I chose to end his life.

As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

My father was a food lover and a deadbeat dad, and maybe a connection between good food and bad dads was forged early, in the deepest folds of my subconscious, where we make so many decisions about our parents.

My wife and I got engaged in New Hampshire at this lake house that her family's had forever, and it's on Lake Winnipesaukee. And so we went there every summer as we were dating.
