Parent-Teacher Nights

Back-to-School 2007 Isaac and India both had their parent-teacher conferences this week, but because I stayed home with them Tuesday and Wednesday as they were sick, Salomé had to attend both meetings solo in the evening.  While I’ve met both of their primary teachers, she’d only spoken with them over the phone and via email, so it worked out okay, especially

Support the Striking Writers

There’s a great website called fans4writers.com that is trying to organize support for the members of the Writers Guild of America who went on strike this past Monday after negotiations over royalties for usage of their creations in new media vehicles — ie: re-playing TV episodes and streaming movies online, the sale of digital copies of TV episodes, etc. Philosophically speaking,
