CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL Day 16   I’m just really not that interesting. I mean, right, we all have to realize it sometime. For me it was getting on Facebook and looking at all the posts that seemed even more self-absorbed than usual then looking at last weeks blog posts and realizing, [...]

CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL Day 7   Monday evening I was passing the 76 station on Broadway when it hit me: This is exactly what education needs! And yes, I’m joking superintendent Shields, but hear me out, there is a point.   Individualized learning plans, huge parent and community involvement, teachers as [...]

CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL Day 6   The most important event of the week happened Friday in the parking lot of the Community Center outside the line for donating blood.   I was surprised a week previous when Vitalant’s email arrived announcing an upcoming blood drive. My wife and I were sheltering [...]

CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL   Well this is happening. Today is Monday, the first day of Spring Break and instead of the normal joy, elation and freedom it’s a morning of preparation, fear and uncertainty.   We are not good with uncertainty, we want to know what tomorrow will bring but with [...]

  Kev-o,   Thanks so much for the offer but it looks like I will be unable to leave Europe to attend SIFF 2020. My plans to turn the plaza horseshoe palm tree into a giant grape flavored tootsie roll pop, stencil “What is ART?” in 10 foot letters across [...]
