Vote - or don't discuss politics. Maybe it is my first-generation American mentality, but I don't understand why people don't exercise their civic rights and responsibilities. It takes only a moment, generally, and provides a genuine opportunity to be part of a process. I haven't missed an election since I turned 18 and I sincerely … Continue reading Your choice today…

Testing – 1, 2, 3
No notice on this really - I'm sorry! It's my fault, not Pat's. From NYS Assemblymember Pat Fahy: Local Education Forum: School districts across the region are feeling the strain of limited federal and state funding, a convoluted funding formula, and increasing testing and other state and federal mandates.

Sad, mad and glad

International Women’s Day
Did you know my undergraduate minor was Women's History? In case my English degree didn't make me marketable, I could always fall back on that, you know? Ha!
