I am a high school English teacher in NYC and during the summer of 2008, I took an extensive cross country road trip to visit literary sites. Now, in the summer of 2013, I will explore Vietnam and study the effects of the Vietnam War from both an American and Vietnamese perspective. I will use this exploration to create an interdisciplinary unit on the Vietnam War, using Tim O'Brien's wonderful work "The Things They Carried." Thanks for visiting.

Gay Pride Parade, Chicago
I always go to the PRIDE Parade in NYC, so, of course, this year I was happy to make it to the Chicago festivities. I have to admit though, the New York parade did seem to somehow have more glitter or something. Also, the NYPD is MUCH stricter. The vibe in Chicago was more laid back, people had open containers in the street without a problem. That would never fly in the Big Apple.
