About Us

Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

Ah, this brings back memories. The primal stares and quiet reflection. The smell of burning plastic. The occasional “oohs” and “ahhs” of appreciation and wonder. The greens and blues of high temperature flames. Burning army men in the Duncan’s fire pit was all this … and much more.

Look at the rapt attention on everybody’s faces. What, oh what, could be capturing their minds so completely that the rest of life’s problems magically slip away as they concentrate on this singular sight with the intensity of a man on acid who’s discovered there are tiny universes in every atom of his hand.

Why, it’s burning army men — and airplanes — of course.
