Tonight’s Reading Chronicles cont’d… I should have known Tiffani would have a STEM career because she was the only one, at our table in Physics class at Mt.

Tonight’s Education/Equity/Reading Chronicles… You never know who’s watching. Kris Cox, Executive Director of ReadWS, has been paying attention to me for a little while. We’ve had lunch where she’s encouraged me to blog or write a book (as she did again tonight). She invited me to her event scheduled for tonight. I told her I… Continue reading 12.12.2019

Today’s Football Chronicles… I witnessed one of THEE MOST poorly officiated games in my history of spectating during last night’s game between East Forsyth and Grimsley. My dad was/is a ref and I always wanted to be one so I am sensitive to the job they have. Many are still learning. Even though there is… Continue reading 12.07.2019

Today’s Human Relations Chronicles… I have not read a book more intently, as quickly or with as much emotion (probably because I simultaneously read The Son Does Shine) as Just Mercy.

Today’s Parenting Chronicles… Up until 8th grade, my mother used to keep Michai every Wednesday offering me mid-week respite. My weekly respite now comes from 30 minutes of Meditation at the Y. Listen, I know the Y is a Christian organization, but pairing meditation with a little wine won’t hurt. Ok, I’m back. Michai is… Continue reading 11.21.2019
