i have been digging deeply in the past few weeks, looking ahead to the upcoming season in quinn’s educational journey (as well as my own) and trying to weave together a plan to meet all of our needs (for education, community, income to cover our bills, food, airfare to new york next spring). i think . . . → Read More: digging deeply 
i’m moving. officially. it’s a happy move. a very happy, very much in love move. very. oregon country fair. at 8 pm quinn succinctly put it, ” the fair was fun. now i’m tired.” i haven’t been to fair in years, and for a long time it was a place full of shadows . . . → Read More: bullet points

one of my first tastes of unschooling might have been when i spent my first 9 weeks aboard the schooner Harvey Gamage. i just dug out my journal from SEAmester, and the entry from our first day of sailing (3-3-98) included this: “earlier today we ate breakfast, swabbed the decks, and then the crew let . . . → Read More: unschooling, schooner style |
