The @ashevilletourists sponsor the Tourists Therapeutic Recreation Baseball League each year through Asheville Parks & Recreation. My son Nicholas, now 22, has participated since 2008. Today all the teams of adults *and* children gathered at McCormick Field and played the season’s final game with the support of Tourists players. (The Tourists are a High-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.) It was a beautiful day in every way, and immense gratitude to the Tourists and their GM, Larry Hawkins, for two decades of community support, outreach, and inclusion.
Silly-face pic to highlight a more serious messaging from my son Nicholas, who is autistic and intellectually disabled, in his shirt from The Arc of the United States @thearc_us : “Disability rights are human rights.”
@dobrateanc in downtown Asheville NC for a couple of hours today with my friend (and long-ago neighbor) Kimmy Hunter, with far-ranging conversation largely rooted in a robust, broad, and true vision for love and inclusion—for *everyone* and everywhere, in family, schools, workplaces, community, and society—as the foundation of the work we do and the lives we live. #love #inclusion #acceptance #vision #society #family #schools #community #change
Liz Flowers is a member of my son Nicholas’ community circle, which we call Team Nicholas. Today Ms Liz took Nicholas out and about in Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina today, including here in front of Looking Glass Falls.

Lunch at @buxtonhallbbq on Memorial Day weekend with my son Nicholas: pulled pork, catfish, chocolate torte, banana pudding pie.
I hadn’t seen my former Lark Books colleague Dana Irwin in at least a decade, so I was excited to drive up to an art show and fundraiser in Weaverville, NC where I’d read she was showing work. Dana was an Art Director (for 23 years!) at Lark Books during years I was a Senior Editor (for 3 of my 6 Lark years)—it was immense creative fun working with her then! As you see, she is looking fantastic and, a longtime painter with watercolors, newly working with acrylic paints and exploring the impact on her artistic style. She’d already sold two of the four pieces she was showing before I arrived!
