Family. Fun. Philanthropy. The art of being unsupervised.

The WirePresented by HIM

The weekly dispatch · By Clayton Hollingsworth

Good stories.
Questionable supervision.

Family. Fun. Philanthropy. And whatever Texas did this time.

One letter each week, with an opening note from me, the story worth your time and a few things I think deserve a second look.

Free. Written for adults. Easy to leave.

Save me a place.

Inside the letter

A little perspective before Monday.

01 / The opening note

A person behind the prose.

Fatherhood, family and the ordinary things that turn out to matter.

02 / The second look

Follow the story.

One feature, a few discoveries and links for those who want the whole rabbit hole.

03 / The Giving Fields

Something useful.

People, places and organizations doing work worth understanding.

Weekend Visitation,
Texas Edition.

A daughter comes home. Sunday gets sentimental. Then the highway reminds you where you live.
