“Momma, I Need You”
This morning (Tuesday), I tweeted The New Yorker article that is making the rounds about how American kids are spoiled.

All the Way Back
A little over a year and a half ago, I wrote a post describing how I was finally going to get rid of my collection of Canadian Literature (and corresponding critical materials). In it, I lamented how I would never use or read the books ever again (or even for the first time). It was time, I declared, to let go of the past, who I was professionally, and embrace who I was becoming. How things have changed in a short 18 months.
