Aeon essay

For today's post we're sending you over to Aeon Magazine, a new, free, open access, online publication that posts a new essay every weekday.  The essays fit one of five themes, from science to memoir to musings on society. The editors have done a stellar job inviting pieces from an incredibly diverse and talented group of writers.

It's a fine publication.  And I am honored to say that today's essay is mine.

This article is for my sister and brother-in-law, dairy goat farmers in Vermont.  The hardest working people I know.
