Going Back to School

On April 11, I spoke at my alma mater, Albany Academy for Girls (merged with the boys' school across the street in 2007 to become the Albany Academies) as part of their 2011-2012 Alumni/ae Speaker Series. First there was a Q & A at the girls' school with some extremely articulate and well-prepared sixth-grade students, and then I went across the street to speak to upper school (9th to 12th grade) girls and boys. It turned out to be a wonderful experience, and much to my surprise, not a single person asked me where I get my ideas.
