This is my nephew, Chris Miller, performing his original song “The Very Least I Could.” Click. Listen.

I was five years old on July 4, 1976. The American Bicentennial was a very big deal. My whole world turned red, white, and blue. The stars and stripes were everywhere. The United States of America was 200 years old, and you couldn’t be conscious and miss that fact. That sounds like a long time—hell, [...]
I started writing about this a couple of times, and just couldn’t. Absent tonight’s thoroughly satisfying resolution, it was probably going to stay that way. We couldn’t find Oliver Wednesday morning. Worse, we didn’t really realize he wasn’t in any of his usual hidey-holes, and wasn’t coming when I rattled the laser pointer in the [...]
