postcards from nowhere: hidden in plain view
http://www.postcards-from-nowhere.com/2014/06/hidden-in-plain-view.html
Hidden in plain view. I am writing at Panera this afternoon. I like it here because the buzz of activity helps me to focus. And yeah, the cinnamon crunch scones ain't bad, either. A few minutes ago, an older woman came and sat down alone at a table near me and started eating. That was unremarkable. So I watched him, a turtle in a sea of hares, moving steadily and slowly toward his destination. He had a peaceful smile and a twinkle in his eye, and was clearly not experiencing even an ounce of resistan...

advice for parents: Assume that helping your child with his homework improves his grades? Think again!

postcards from nowhere: making a new year's resolution? try this
http://www.postcards-from-nowhere.com/2013/12/making-new-years-resolution-try-this.html
Making a new year's resolution? I was looking around the room during a meeting the other day, and noticed a bizarre looking mask (some kind of tribal art, I think) hanging at what seemed like an unusual height on the wall. Upon further inspection, it was revealed to be covering the thermostat. It was also obscuring a small sign describing the effect that raising or lowering the thermostat would have on the other rooms in the suite. Prefer that people don't screw with the thermostat? If you jump through a...

postcards from nowhere: the answer is blowing in the wind
http://www.postcards-from-nowhere.com/2015/01/the-answer-is-blowing-in-wind.html
