Our brains like to take shortcuts wherever possible. While causation and correlation can exist at the same time, the two events are often unrelated.

35 years ago, I got to marry the love of my life Craig Wiesner. I'm so grateful to First Presbyterian Church Palo Alto, Rev. Diana Gibson and Rev. Dick Symes who boldly performed our marriage ceremony and the many friends who were there then and ever since to strengthen and affirm us as a couple.
