Father's Day

From Paul Currington | 14:24

"What do you think of when you think of your dad?"

People in Seattle share stories about their fathers. Death, divorce, drugs, love, Casey Kasem and a bucket of gasoline that wouldn't blow up are some of the memories that come tumbling out. These moments of reflection are funny and powerful like a good dad.

This portrait of him and his work was made by his younger brother who has always admired him. Produced with Dan Gediman. Dad and Sam (4:45) Love and Brotherhood.

DIY Rituals

We depend on all kinds of secular and spiritual rituals to mark the ends and beginnings of things. Sometimes this means following a long-standing tradition, but sometimes you just have to make up your own.
