Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #7 – Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector

Like a lot of people who convocate with a Bachelor’s degree, the biggest question is “Now what?” In 1996, I had an expensive English degree, a specialization in creative writing, and not a lot of other options.

Friday Fun Link – Which Dewey Decimal Number Are You?

Every Stan Lee Cameo Ever

It’s not surprising when you learn that a 95-year old real-life superhero has passed away but it’s still sad. Millions of kids (including me) were influenced by Stan Lee over the years – in making us into readers, in making us think about good and evil, in making us into dreamers – but in his […]
