“It is worth while also, from time to time, shaking off the anesthetic of
familiarity and awakening to the wonder that is really all around us all the time.”
— Richard Dawkins

I’ll never forget how I met Sky. It was the funniest situation. I was strolling around with Kristin one night, it was a lazy night – we had been downtown, but didn’t drink in excess like we (I) sometimes do.  We had a lazy night at home, and decided we wanted sushi – we got up, went out, shared a bottle of wine, and went back home.  In the process, though, I encountered one suave-dressed man who stopped me dead on the street.

Hey…is your name Justin?

Yeah…that’s me. Definitely me.  Sky had recently heard about my TED talk that I’d be giving in a month or so.  We had never met before but I was honored that he knew who I was! Ever since, Sky has been one of the more interesting people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet.  In response to my most recent blog post, he shared that quote with me.  I’m not going to elaborate at all.  I’m just going to let it stand alone because I really do think it is really THAT succinct and eloquently constructed.
