February: Out of Our Minds

It is not unusual for people in Wisconsin to be "out of their minds" by the time February arrives. We can be a bit stir-crazy from being stuck in the house because of cold or bad weather. So it is fitting that the title of the book I read for the Artful Readers Club this month was "Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative" by Sir Ken Robinson. Last fall I heard the author speak on UW campus in Madison as part of the Science Festival and was fascinated by his views regarding education and creativity. There was so

With a new morning comes a new decade

What is it about starting a new year, that makes us feel like we need "resolutions"? In Wisconsin, it may be the fact that we will be spending the next few months mired in the cold, snowy, grey days of winter and if we feel we are moving toward a better self we won't be stricken with seasonal affective disorder. Or maybe it is the esoteric beauty of a fresh calendar, where the only marks have been neatly written (and in my case, color-coded), that imbues the spirit with hope for a better future. Well, whatever the reason, I
