The lunar b*tches ran tonight and it was blissful. The air felt damp in a delicious way and we ran well, loose and comfortable. With two miles left, I tossed out Las Vegas and the massacre which occurred there today. Like our pace, our thoughts were in synch. We wondered why those kind of weapons … Continue reading Lunar b*tches do Las Vegas

Don’t tell me what to eat
If you see me this weekend and I seem a little out of sorts, it might be from eating too much ice cream and pastry. I'm on a diet and limited to a menu of foods that I only truly enjoy in small doses - things like white bread, peanut butter, cookies and ice cream. … Continue reading Don’t tell me what to eat

In light of what is happening in our country right now, it seems appropriate to drop these (edited to minimize redundancy) lyrics … Continue reading Gimme Some Truth
My home is not broken
I attended a meeting recently and was struck to hear a colleague describe a student's home as being "broken." Of course, my reaction is personal and I'm probably just being hypersensitive, but it really bothered me, particularly since it was offered as an explanation for all of a particular child's academic, social and personal issues. … Continue reading My home is not broken
