How You Can Be a Hero Today
Politics. Religion. Money. Some of our dearest friends adamantly declared, within a few days of us meeting them, that these three topics were always off limits. They'd lost too many friends after engaging with one, or all three. After this week, I won't talk about the...
One with the Water: The Foundation

Kenny Meets a Cousin – Vaquita!
Vaquita Rosa! When I first decided to travel around the world and find new friends, I wasn’t sure where to go. After all, for a little dolphin like me, the sea is the limit! I figured I might head south to start, and from there, I would just see where the water would...
