For months I’ve been seeing posts on Facebook promoting the Front Parlor Series - public storytelling in the Capital Region. The group hosts an event every third Monday of the month at The Olde English and describes them as being “like The Moth radio hour…” Hmmm, doesn’t that sound interesting? Needless to say, I’ve been … Continue reading I told a story

Telling stories – Adam Gidwitz
Last week, author Adam Gidwitz visited my school and spent the day doing presentations and hanging out with kids, and it was incredible. I haven’t read everything he’s written, but last year’s The Inquisitor’s Tale was one of my favorite recent reads. It’s a book that is difficult to sort into a definitive genre, but … Continue reading Telling stories – Adam Gidwitz

You know, that spring weekend when it … Continue reading Seneca 7

Man, I am hurting, but, … Continue reading Seven Sisters Trail Race – 2018 edition

While it’s something we’ve seen before, there were two things that stood out to me as remarkably different. The first, the one … Continue reading Asking to be killed
