Casuistry
Manage episode 336107592 series 3226697
`Episode 9: two obscure but highly unlikely events occurred back to back on August 26 which caused me to spiral out on the topic of casuistry--the unexplained, but intentional interconnections between people and earth (not actual definition, just a take on it).
I provide a brief update on Olga's ALS progression; discuss two tattoos I've wanted and why; tell the story of my parents meeting and a sliver of the socio-political history of Iran; I tell the story of the night we emigrated to America.
I conclude with a riff on Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and how it too was a meditation on casuistry (and it just so happens that I was in the play in 1991 playing a Il Dottore type character!!)... Please help save Olga's life by donating to our fund: www.bit.ly/saveolga
