Even when I know “what it’s about” I struggle with the distillation part…because I can think of too many facets #kidlitchat

I dread anything that requires distillation into a marketing hook. #kidlitchat

I spent last night cleaning the clogged vent space in our dryer. And the day before doing a massive internal clean of our front loading washer. Maybe it’s that time of year…good luck!

Opened the window to the full moon tonight. Brushed my teeth and washed my face in the moonlight. No other light needed. I am grateful to be alive on this amazing planet.

An ELA teacher at my son's old high school has put out a plea to buy GIOVANNI'S ROOM by James Baldwin for his AP students who want to read this book. The district is very short of funds. Thank you for considering! #LGBTQ+ #weneeddiversebooks #WNDB
