In 1969, Dr. Donald Goodwin conducted a study in which human participants were asked to recall an object shown to them while speaking. Despite initial success, half of the participants experienced memory loss after a 30-minute so-called blackout. Alcohol affects the air by interacting with the body's neurotransmitters and impairing communication pathways, especially those related to memory. Ethanol disrupts long-term potency, hinders the formation of stable memories and leads to blackouts when blood alcohol levels exceed 0.16. Factors such as dehydration, genetics and age affect susceptibility and loss of power. Drinking too much can cause long-term nerve cell damage and memory loss.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
