So I said I was going to write about puppies and rainbows. It’s hard to write about puppies—much more fun to watch them on YouTube—and rainbows are even worse (yes, Heather Nann can write about rainbows, but Heather is a sui generis and thus not applicable when it comes to comparisons). And I was really just going for the Sixth Sense reference, anyway:

Then in the space of two days, people mentioned rainbows in connection with death and graduation (our nephew graduated from West Chester University last Sunday). And, as we say in this family, We Take Our Signs Seriously.
