What would happen if migrants on boats with limited resources were also seen as brave explorers gifted with curiosity and wonder for depths unknown, I wonder.

Yep. It has always struck me as insane that we allow this sort of thing.

I had a lot of fun reading this review over my coffee this morning. nytimes.com/2022/09/22/books…
I love the NYSWI for giving the public such varied chances to hear directly from writers. I bring home all kinds of interesting perspectives from every event. What a pleasure!
It’s a wrap. 5th annual Albany Book Festival @nyswi @ualbany in the books. The tribute to Hunter S. Thompson panel discussion closer with Garry Trudeau, Bill Kennedy and @ProfDBrinkley was one for the ages. See you next year for version 6.0.
Last week, a young father who lives in a country that has seen decades of war, told me he believes it’s too late to stem gun violence in America. Too many guns already out there, he said.
I can only hope he is wrong.
NYS Park Day shout out to the many people working to “put the Hudson back in Castleton-on-Hudson!”

Smart thinking by educators 😊
Letter: Thanks for Grondahl's column timesunion.com/opinion/artic…
This is truth. Paul tells every story with insight and compassion. Thank you, Paul.
We do the best we can. Love helps to get us through unscathed. But social supports, like affordable, available, quality child care, make a huge difference.
This moment will not get much attention. But when Judge Jackson said ….”for my daughters... I admit that I did not always get the [work/motherhood] balance right... but I love you so much”. Womenfolk everywhere felt that deep inside their soul.

A new flight has appeared on our Arrivals board! Our airfield team has cleared all snow off the runway and our control tower is on standby to clear the air space tonight. All systems are a go for a safe and on-time arrival from the North Pole.
Grondahl: A holiday miracle to smile about timesunion.com/news/article/…
Nice story, made me smile!
After two years away, I found the NYC sidewalks and subways and shops and overall vibe warmer and more gentle than it used to be.
Worth setting aside holiday prep last night for this delightful and refreshing talk. Grateful today for NYSWI, which perseveres to bring all kind of stories to life.
@DrTempleGrandin tells a large @nyswi audience @ualbany about creative geniuses on the autism spectrum: Michelangelo, Einstein, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk. Many on the spectrum sought Grandin’s advice in Q&A and she offered specifics.
