Time spent on writing is time saved on reading. That which is written in pain is read with pleasure. Read prolifically. Write profoundly. If you find yourself unwilling to turn the page then put down […]
I was privileged and honored to have been introduced to the Chicago neighborhood of Edgewater through its diligent network of block clubs, and then further through the efforts of community members in Uptown. An effort […]
We all care about Chicago’s public school system and all of whom it serves. I believe that right now is our chance to reform CPS into an elected, rather than an appointed, School Board. We […]
This evening, at the Local School Council meeting for Disney Magnet Elementary, I reached a personal achievement: I made the motion to hire a school social worker. I have advocated for more social workers in […]
Dust in the wind is the best archive. About this too much can be said, so no attempt will be made. Other than to say it gave me delight to type. Happy Monday-eve.
And after watching it live and seeing it again, all I can think of is Sunny Day Sweepin’ the clouds away On my way to where the air is sweet For those are the lyrics […]

Numquam dicant semper. Quod. Unfortunately, while I still decline to name declensions, am never in the mood for the subjunctive, and have tension over tenses, a few words of ancient Latin remain in mind. Occasionally […]
