A friend recently pulled me aside after an event and said, half-jokingly, "I'm afraid to Google things now. AI is going to take my job, my kids' jobs, and probably my sanity." He's not alone.

The excitement of starting in the fall has settled into steady routines that keep our family calendar filled more than we were expecting, and yet the finish line is finally in sight. As parents, this is often when we commonly feel proud and tired. We’ve […]
The recent events in Minneapolis have generated much controversy and tension. Having lived in the Minneapolis area for 20 years, I’m familiar with all the locations where the events have occurred and I still have many family and friends in the area. I won’t offer an opinion on what has transpired in Minneapolis recently, just […]
