This probably belongs in the links, but if you are on Twitter, you really should follow Blair Braverman. She's a delight! https://www.npr.org/2019/03/01/699390413/blair-braverman-and-her-ugly-dogs-compete-in-their-first-iditarod?fbclid=IwAR2Wto_YssRHqYOeeZAI-eRt0IVQa0W2HbVzAHvmgWeqDtEzJzJutxuHLo0

Great piece in the New York Times by Blair - lots of positive feedback in the comments there:

What My Sled Dogs Taught Me About Planning for the Unknown

Thanks Mush! I try to remember that, but not being terribly tech savvy, I tend to forget! Good reminder!

Blair is a fellow Colby College grad. Yeah, she makes me feel old ( her 2011 vs my 1974), but the drive to be heard and recognized is something Colby sets upon one's shoulders. I'm enormously proud of her.

One of the flaming hoops Colby makes every student jump is an intensive freshman year just learning what the college expects of you in terms of learning to communicate via both the verbal and written word. Blair's ease and joy with language is a huge part of my joy and pride knowing her background.

Cool, Breeze. Good on both of you.

Great story, and the way school should be. The best schools teach you to THINK, and then express those thoughts succinctly. Obviously, I did not go to the best schools!
