About Gary McCaslin:
Seventy trips around the Sun, husband for the last thirty seven, two daughters, three grandchildren, former elementary school teacher, retired American Baptist minister, toward the far end of liberal theological and political spectrum, not enough time to read all the books I want to read and wanting desperately to spend more time at ocean beaches before they disappear, dream often of walking down into the Grand Canyon...

The last lines from Mary Oliver's poem The Summer Day:

Tell me… what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me… what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
