I don’t really want to get up. I really should though. After all, someone’s been banging on my door for 15 minutes. I sluggishly got off the bed and looked at the clock. It was 2 in the afternoon. Not a lot of people visit me so it’s very easy for me to draw [...]

  Late one spring night, my daughter Elizabeth woke us up with screams of “Fire! The house in on fire!”  My wife and I got up and walked into the hallway, which was filled with smoke.  We got our youngest son Erich from his bedroom and the four of us descended through the thick smoke [...]
