I Get the Best Emails – Ongoing

One of my dear, lifelong friends hadn’t heard from me lately and was concerned. As I sit in my parent’s home working my ass off on writing assignments and cleaning everything in sight while said parents and children are at the beach for a week, it sure is nice to hear that someone out there [...]

Outlining Reasons Not to Teach

Teaching has its rewards. Opening a kid’s eyes to the extraordinary events that brought us all to this place and time. Encouraging them to think for themselves, question the conventional wisdom of the day, and get fired up about participating in the process – these ideals attract so many of us to an otherwise low-paying, [...]

Why Are Feminists So Not Hot?

I was watching this documentary on VH-1 last night about the sexual revolution. What was I doing while watching it? Cleaning the house. How’s that for irony?

I’ve never been so happy to see a palm tree in all my life. And [...]

Homeward Bound

Leaving tomorrow morning at 5am for the four-day trek through Kansas, down to Memphis and Nashville, ending in beautiful downtown Lutz. If you listen closely, you can hear Colorado Springs crying and Tampa clapping. Or do I have that backwards?

I Can’t Help It. I’m a Flirter.

“This movie isn’t making you look ridiculous. You *are* ridiculous.” The older I get, the more I learn, and the more I realize I don’t know much. That’s why this movie appeals to me. Jews, Christians, Muslims… all nuts on some level. Even me. A Jewish woman who believes in the Eightfold Path and Four [...]
