Happy Valentine’s Day! I do not think of myself as a sucker for romance (as I groan every time two characters don’t kiss in a movie). BUT I am a total sucker for friendships between two ladies, especially if they support each other in navigating a man’s world. In the time-honored tradition started by Leslie…

A close friend of mine made his own major in college. His official major is “Entrepreneurship, Design, and Technological Change” which, to the surprise of no one, remain his current passions to this day. When I think about my own education, I sometimes think about how I might do it differently. I found out too…

Or, more accurately, how I play the Waiting Game; you know the game (I lost the game, btw). The Waiting Game is what you play when you finish the second book in a series and the third is not released until a year later (like what happened to me and Red Glove by Holly Black).…
