Friends, family, art, and wine - a perfect weekend!

26 years married to my boyfriend. Anniversary dinner - grilled lamb chops w/rosemary, mint, garlic, sea salt; potatoes au gratin; spinach

I submitted the paperwork to get put on the ballot in November. Well, not quite. I left one page of the paperwork in the copy machine at home, so I have to go back tomorrow. Ugh! I took my boys with me and got the best cheese burgers at White Manna. Fun day!

About 22 years ago, we all met at the Jacob Javitts playground in Washington Heights with our two-year old babies. A great night eating grilled cheese, drinking wine, and talking about Succession. The babies are grown, but we haven’t stopped talking. @sallycaswellhat @roberttelenick @acemcdade @324lizer324 @patricioscalderon

Life upheaval continues. As I explained in the last post, I decided to run for local political office. The past week has been about filling out the paperwork. (Yes, MORE paperwork!) To get on the ballot, I got 15 signatures over the weekend. The forms will get notarized tomorrow and hand delivered to the county […]

Kids Can’t Read. What’s the Solution?, Part 3 in School Wars Series: Cook the books? Or teach them to read the books?

Every week, there’s another front page headline with the same theme: students are failing all the tests. This week’s bombshell came from Tom Kane and Sean Reardon in The New York Times option page. Tom Kane and Sean Reardon, top-notch researchers from Harvard and Stanford, penned an article: Parents Don’t Understand How Far Behind Their Kids Are in School. In […]
