The world is often an evil place, but days like today give me hope. Attending this event was an unforgettable experience: for Atticus, his family, and teammates; for the Timbers players, coaches, and staff; and for those of us in the stands. The overwhelming reminder message for today: never underestimate the power of community and good deeds. Well done to all involved. Amazing.

In a word: "awesome."

Brian, a truer line never written:

"It's shit like this, Portland... that makes me proud to call you home."

Props to the TA for showing up in force. I wish I could have been there, but I was unable to remove my shackles for the day.

This video got dust in my eyes.
