My favorite author is Jack London. His style of writing
paints a very vivid picture in my mind. As I read his stories, it feels like
I’m right there in the middle of it. One of his most well-known works is titled
To Build A Fire. This is the opening paragraph of that story.
Day had dawned cold and gray when the man turned aside
from the main Yukon trail. He climbed the high earth-bank where a
little-traveled trail led east through the pine forest. It was a high bank, and
he paused to breathe at the top. He excused the act to himself by looking at
his watch. It was nine o’clock in the morning. There was no sun or promise of
sun, although there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day. However,
there seemed to be an indescribable darkness over the face of things. That was because
the sun was absent from the sky. This fact did not worry the man. He was not
alarmed by the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun.
There’s something about the quiet, dark, biting cold of
northern Canada that really fascinates me. I’ve lived in cold climates, but
nothing like that. When the outside temperature gets to be well below zero, the
constant thought is just what you have to do in order to survive.
My guest today is David. He and his partner in this
adventure, Scott, dreamed of spending time in those conditions. But what they
encountered just in the first few days had them - from one hour to the next –
wondering, what else could go wrong?

224: Naseem was run over 3 times
If you have children, you’ve probably thought at some point,
“Am I a good parent?”
It’s natural to question our own abilities sometimes. Do I
spend enough time with my kids? Do they feel safe? Do they feel loved? Are they
comfortable talking with me about anything that’s going on in their life?
My kids are adults now. When I think back to when they were
growing up, there are things I would have done differently if I knew back then
what I know now. But that’s not really fair though. I know I did the best I
could at the time. And they still turned out to be great adults and I’m really
proud of them.
My guest today is Naseem. She has 3 kids. And there was a
time when she found herself wondering about how she was doing as a parent.
Wondering if her children knew how much she loved them.
It’s interesting the thoughts that come into your head, when
you’re being run over by a car.
