  • A Day-Trip: Franklin Institute and Bresslergroup Debate

    Last Thursday morning, most of the ALC-NYC crew headed towards East Harlem for a day of philosophy, visitors, Japanese, wrestling, music, and more. Meanwhile, I texted with my co-conspiritors and packed a notebook into my field trip bag. Learning is natural and happening all the time. I’m generally a fan of our foundational principles at…

    Two all-day field trips in a row! What an awesome week! Yesterday, I spent the day roaming Central Park with @agilealfie @pigsfly @serenagermany and @xxxxpgainzxxx, in search of rocks to climb and some tasty Two Boots pizza. Today, our trip involved less fields, more rain, and much more theater. We went to my neighborhood–to Washington…

    It’s 11 pm Saturday, and I’m finally settling down to write my blog post for the week. It’ll probably sit in my draft pile overnight so I can polish it in the morning as a more alert being, but I want to get everything down before I forget. Sunday night, I found out that my…

  • Brooklyn Museum Trip!

    Last weekend, I had a very art-and-music-filled Saturday. The Whitney was throwing a block party for the grand opening of their new building in the Meatpacking district and it was the first Saturday of the month, which means free admission and lots of music/lectures/workshops at the Brooklyn Museum through the evening. I had a blast at…

    Check out the NYCxDESIGN festival (*cough* @shadowjack *cough*)! Dig through this hard-to-read website to find cool events for Bronx Week! We saw Basquiat’s work last week and talked about his friendship with Andy Warhol. Now you can go see Warhol’s work at MoMA… …or Frida Kahlo’s work at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden! Another Botanical Garden…

    I’m curled up, warm in a sunny window, a little bit amazed at how much organized chaos filled the beginning of the week. This weekend, I had a guest and a staff working day (in which @ryanshollenberger and @tomis gave the bathroom an amazing make-over!). We rolled into the week Tuesday morning with the arrival…

    Mostly thinking of @failspy @kingthanos @jacobcb as I write this, but here are a bunch of resources for anyone in NYC over the break and unsure of how to keep adventuring while school is closed 🙂 Free museums! Don’t be shy about taking advantage of “suggested/donation-based admission” 😉 Also, I would highly recommend taking a…

    Thanks to curiosity of students, generosity of parents, and agility of facilitators, I had the opportunity to support a really interesting field trip this week. @RyanShollenberger , @douglasawesome , @likeaboss , @kingthanos , @FailSpy, Elijah, and I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at Discovery Times Square. It was so exciting to get to go…

    Since @pinkpanda moves to Virginia soon, I asked her Monday if there was a last field trip she wanted to take, a part of the city she wanted to see before leaving. After some thinking, she declared that she wanted to take a field trip to a comic book store. While looking at a map…

    In one of my many past lives, I spent most of my time near, on, or thinking about how to be better at being on horses. My teacher and mentor once suggested taking gymnastics classes to improve my balance. What she actually said was, “It will teach you to fall safely, and that’s important since…
