Got a call this morning from Goddard College, the “vanguard” school to offer low-residency programs in Master’s of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing. Short story: I’m “in”.

A lot has been happening lately. Thought I would share, in brief… Sarah’s first soccer game. As a non soccer lover, it was awesome. There are two “ringers” on Sarah’s U6 team (Blue Lightning) which will make for a fun season. Sarah holds her own and had a shot on goal that was only about…
