I was backpacking with my brother Jeff. As one is prone to do in those situations, we were discussing a wide range of topics attempting to solve all the world’s problems. Please just ignore the fact that it was a short two day hike that would barely allow us to get past the first dozen or so.
We were discussing something which for the all the pot in Humboldt county, I cannot recall. I do remember it involved an ethical decision on how to proceed in some circumstance. We rocked on for a couple miles arguing opposite sides of the ethical question. I finally clinched the argument by asking Jeff, “What would Nancy Milam do? “ He slowly nodded his head in agreement. We went on to another deep subject I am sure.
I know Nancy does not like me saying this. I also know that she is far from perfect. AlsoI am not quite sure what a saint is. I do know that if there are saints among us, Nancy Milam is one. It would not be a bad way to make an ethical decision by asking yourself, WWNMD, What Would Nancy Milan Do.
So there.
