As Halloween approaches, scary things lurk beyond the corner. Perhaps the most frightening for high school seniors is the Nov. 1 deadline for applying to colleges. Don’t discount it because it’s the early deadline. It is significant because, as more students opt for early action (non-binding) and early decision (binding) deadlines, the Nov. 1 deadline […]

When one falls, we all fall. When one stands, we stand. Twenty-seven dominoes represent the members of Harness the Stars Kids Opera Company. When lined up strategically on the floor, what do we see?

The scruffy man approached me on a Manhattan street with a fan of tickets in his hand. “Would you like to see a free show?” he asked.  (photo Joan Rivers 2010 by David Shankbone courtesy Wikipedia) “Uh, no.” It was 1989 and when men in the Times Square section of NY asked you that kind […]

I attended a candidates’ debate the other evening – a wide-ranging discussion between incumbent County Executive Ike Leggett (D) and his Republican opponent, Jim Shalleck. It was a serious event, as these things always are. They agreed on some things, and disagreed on a lot: the transportation needs of Montgomery County were one area where […]
