We all know someone who has difficulty reading social cues. They make an insensitive comment and follow it with another even more inappropriate, totally unaware of the mess they’re making. You want to take them aside and whisper in their ear or—escort them out.

There was a historic blizzard in Cambridge in February of 2013. Over two feet of snow had fallen when they finally stopped measuring around midnight. The winds reached hurricane strength. By morning, the city stood still and silent under clear blue skies.

This is a free resource for students applying to college next year. Summer is the perfect time to get a head start. Please share with anyone who might benefit and thank you. 
There’s a moment a student reads aloud their completed personal statement. I get to hear them announce themselves to the world. It’s emotional, even thrilling— like having a front row seat to an unveiling.

Summer break is the perfect time for rising seniors to get a jump on their college applications. This is a nonprofit resource for them and their parents. Please share.
It took 38 years for me to get from college graduation to a career in education. I might have arrived sooner except I was busy with a career doing what I’d dreamed of doing since I was a kid. The story starts on a summer afternoon in 1963.

A bit of encouraging news:
The same putrid ingredients that make up the festering sausage that is the current president, when repackaged in the shape of Elon Musk, are rejected outright by the voters of Wisconsin.
The Teflon is non-transferable. We should get to work on 2026 in earnest.
