good stuff

I can now let out a sigh of relief. My 8th grader got into our second choice school for 9th grade. If he hadn't gotten in, it was looking like a short walk down our street to the inner city public school in our "transitional" downtown neighborhood that, while it wouldn't be the end of the world, wouldn't have been my very first choice.

I also found out today that an essay I wrote is going to be included in a groovy new anthology with some of my fave NYT writers -- with Three Rivers Press, a very cool publisher, putting the book out. More details latah.
