Douglas Wilder

Anne Lamott

One of my favorite programs that we didn’t make is Rescue Time. It runs in the corner of my computer and tracks how much time I spend on different things.

Steven Rattner
After my wife and I were married, we obtained a rescue dog from a family that didn’t want her anymore.
