So: I got a new job and moved back into my New York City apartment and did the Lobsterman triathlon (read more about it here). It's been a very busy few weeks!

I was hired as the program coordinator at Visual Thinking Strategies (whoa: career change!). I've been on the job for about three weeks, and I'm starting to understand what the heck I am doing! My office is in Williamsburg, so I'm back on the L train and walking down Bedford Avenue on a regular basis, judging peoples' shoes and eyewear.

I'm still freelance writing, and have story in Family Circle this month (download it from the clips page). I will have quite a few pieces in amNewYork this fall, and am sending pitches and hoping to write more in the future.

Now that I'm back in the city, I'm trying to go on cheap/free field trips and catch up with all my NYC friends. I had a great summer in Maine, but I'm looking forward to fall.

Wow. VTS looks totally cool. I just checked out its website. I am going to read more about the Chicago schools that have tried it. Lucky you for getting to work for something so cool. Lucky VTS for making the smart decision to hire you.

First off, I think how great you are a program coordinator. Then, similar to Dara's reaction, I am wowed by what VTS is about. Go VL!

Yes, I think VTS is pretty cool myself. And it's an interesting career shift, although, of course, I am still writing, which is my favorite part of being a journalist.
