      Parents of athletes have particular obligations-some sport specific, some general to having athletic kids living in the house.  Until they move out (and maybe after-I’m  not there yet), we are responsible for keeping track of practices, purchasing equipment and locating lost parts of uniforms.     Read more >

    Last week I did something new. It wasn’t as delicious as trying a new flavor of ice cream, or as adventurous as flying down a zip line. It wasn’t as bold as a new hair color, or as daring as quitting my job. Last week I flew alone. Solo. No friends, no kids, no spouse, no colleagues. Just me, my overstuffed suitcase and a carry-on bag full of papers to grade, books to read, and stories to write.  Read more >

     For the last decade,Iran has been down on Barbie.  Toy stores were banned from selling her, and Iranian children were discouraged from playing with or purchasing our genuine American girl for fears of the ‘westernization’ of Iranian culture.  Read more >

      It takes a lot of guts to be a female ski racer.  Imagine hurtling your body down 1000 vertical feet on three inch wide, five foot long planks over rock hard icy snow navigating a maze of fiberglass poles spring loaded to smack your body when you hit them.  All this is done in a glorified body suit in freezing cold temperatures and within 30-60 seconds.Sounds like fun, huh?  Read more >

    I was just barely three years old when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed.  That makes my life one that has really never had a first hands understanding of what his struggle was like.  I have never known a time when there wasn't such a thing as the Civil Rights Movement.  I have never seen 'separate but equal'.  Read more >

    Her name was Martha.  Not sure exactly why or how she earned that name, but it kind of stuck.  I got her when I was 17 – my senior year.  Read more >
