Is there a season 2 of the Homecoming podcast??? Or can I not find it bc its existence is an in-joke “Titanic Rising” trolling effort?? HELP @abexlumberg
While getting ready for school this morning, I asked our 5-yo “what time is it?” Our 19 month old interjected: “Showtime! Showtime!” @HamiltonMusical

Grandparents are the uniting link between generations to transmit to the young the experience of life and faith. Therefore, I have decided to institute the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly which will be held annually on the fourth Sunday of July.

Whyyyy when we ask our kids, “what do you want to be?”...we still expect answers like “doctor”, “teacher,” “paleontologist.” What could change if we instead expected responses more along the lines of: “Kind.” “Curious.” “Joyful.”

How do serious Montessorians deal with #SantaClaus? It’s a story that teaches: - fantasy - extrinsic rewards - that kids/people are wholly “good” or “bad” - And one day reveals to kids that adults willfully deceive them 🤔🤔

I learned today that @EarthWindFire re-recorded “September” as a Christmas song. Wouldn’t mind seeing @wyclef do the same with “November”! (Yes I feel as old as that statement sounds)
Our 17m old surprised us all this evening by counting to 🔟! Is she some kind of genius??...Or, more likely, have we just listened to the Ten Duel Commandments THAT much 😬. @HamiltonMusical

WAIT, WAIT! He DIDN’T TELL US???!!! The whole pandemic season of the show and nary a hint?? Congratulations @petersagal!! I’m glad I refrained from a sardonic “as if you have somewhere else to be” tweet following your recent absences 😬. And so happy about your joyous news.
Where did the browse tab go on @Spotify‘s desktop app go?? How am I to match my music to my “mood”??
This little girl is juuust learning to talk. Does not reliably say “mama.” BUT. When I say, “Angelicaaaa. All the way from London??,” she says... “Dayyyyyyyummn”. World’s youngest #hamilfan?? @HamiltonMusical

Surprisingly, when I add resistance, I go faster. #LifeLessons from @onepeloton.
“Not throwing away my shot” / “do not throw away your shot” has GOT to be the #vaccine marketing campaign song, to get people to go back for their second dose. @HamiltonMusical @Lin_Manuel

When this is all over, will we collectively recognize, as a society, the critical role #teachers play, for all of us? That they are our social workers, our frontline workers, our essential workers, our healthcare workers, our first responders?

When a captain announces there’s a teacher on our flight, will the plane break out in applause? When we recognize a stranger as a teacher, will we stop to thank them for their service? Will presidents end speeches with “God bless our troops...*and our teachers*”??

We had an amazing week on the Jurassic coast with Martin in July 2017–our last English hurrah. Go!!

My mom’s Thanksgiving gratitude, a Buddhist koan: What is so small, nothing is within it; And so big nothing is outside it? ... This moment. It’s truly the least, and most, we can be thankful for. 🦃💻 🧘🏽‍♀️

I would have thought that by now we would have had a established a family Thanksgiving volunteering tradition. We haven't. If your family has, please share. I'd love to learn.
