Critical Myopia

It’s not a big secret. I’m getting totally middle-aged. I’m generally okay with that, except when it comes to the things that aren’t awesome. Let me explain, for those of you who dread the 40s (or even the 30s). This amazing thing happened to me, and I’ve talked to plenty of people for whom it

Little Town, Big News

Things are happening around here that are causing Major News. If you don’t already know about it, ignore this. If you do already know about it and don’t care about my opinion, I’m not offended. Short story, yearbook photos were edited to bring people (yeah, okay, mostly female people) into compliance with stated dress code.

I Was Never Abandoned

My parents never left me anywhere. Once upon the late seventies, a two-car, two-family caravan mixup resulted in leaving my cousin Rebecca (not to be confused with my sister Becky or, you know, me) at Peking on Fresh Pond (a restaurant where they left the head on the fish, ack) in the environs of Boston,

Check. Check. Check.

Things are being checked off The Long List. Prom happened. My sweet little Kid 2 was a lovely, beautiful, organized prom-arranger. Sterling Scholar competition happened. Ten of our school’s 15 competitors placed in their categories’ top 3 – and 6 of our kids took their categories’ first place. They were lovely, poised, and classy. I’m

Research is Awesome

SO I’m researching 1920’s hair oils for men (because OF COURSE I am). I found the best article in the Art of Manliness blog. This guy is excellent. But the comments. Guys, the comments. I couldn’t stop reading. These men are so sincere about their love for Vitalis and Bryllcreem. It’s adorable how much they

Must Be Spring Break

My only real goals for today were to sleep until 7:00 and to write thousands of words before noon. So, naturally, my sleep was riddled with stress-dreams, rendering sleep-in impossible. Alas. Dreams about the classroom, the writers conference, the summer camp, the Prom, and the graduation. That pretty much covers it, until I start having

A School-ish Thing

So I’m reviewing with my students Argumentative Writing. It’s a thing we did earlier in the year, which obviously I taught so brilliantly that they all forgot it. Because what I teach STICKS. Clearly. (Hey, kids. That there’s what we call IRONY.) But then this thing happened. I got an IDEA. I asked my students

Remember Why You Started

Walking the freezing streets of New York City in January [1], I wasn’t willing to stop my forward motion for much. I chaperoned with an iron fist, kind of. “Go. Move. Keep walking. Tighten it up. Come on.” The only things that halted me were window displays of perfect macarons and this: A coffee shop
