John Holt seems to have been an amazing person and I wish so much he was still alive and I could meet him. Instead, I read his books and become inspired again and again about how humans, especially young humans, thrive. Mr. Holt started out as an education reformer but somewhere along the line he [...]

My guitar playing is coming along. I think I have a bit of a head start because of my piano playing, back in my previous life. I remember I first wanted to learn to play piano when I was seven or eight because the music teacher in my first grade class could play and I thought [...]
I love listening to the kids play. They come up with the most amazing stuff. RIght now Sophie is making complex pirate costumes for both of them, all with construction paper and yards and yards of tape.
A lot of the time they play around themes, for example, last week I [...]

The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
