A few months ago we were visiting with Christian and Emily in Baltimore. I’ve known Christian for many years now. We met during the first few weeks of college when we both auditioned for the Frosh Review (a series of sketches and songs lampooning freshman life at Williams). We were roommates sophomore year and lived together in a suite senior year. All this is to say, I spent an awful lot of time with the guy. Imagine my surprise, then, to learn the other day that he can fly.

I offer the following evidence.

I wonder what will happen to my old friend if and when the scientific community learns of his dark powers. I’ll feel terrible if this post somehow contributes to his capture and containment. On one hand, I know that certain phenomena are best kept under wraps, but on the other, I cannot help but shout from the rooftops about the miracle of Christian and his wingless flight.

What, after all, is a blog for if not to post photos like this one?
