Chandler House Vigil: Which side of history will you be on?

Each day we choose with our time, our attention and our money that which is important to us.  The people rallying to save the Chandler house are distinctive in their respectful, visible approach but make no mistake, this is a protest against the destruction of a historic building. Though these people stand in vigil and bear witness to the choice the Diocese can make, it will be the future citizens of Manchester and the unforgiving world of Google search that will tell the story of the Chandler House.

Communicast: John Clayton, ‘Save the Chandler house’

How does a pandemic affect the struggle between an owner of a building seeking demolition and a group of historic-preservation minded citizens who have fought for five years to save that building and change stewardship if not ownership?

Keith Spiro Communicast: Shanna Tellerman’s MODSY is “business as usual in the new unusual”

The amazing part of this crisis, from a business change standpoint, is to see all executives and senior leaders having to work from home, in a more informal setting, with family interruptions randomly visible via our video linkups.

Your circle of “OK-ness” goes beyond your immediate family when you share readings and tours of your writing space a la Neil Gaiman, or you re-jiggle your time management roadmap. Routine is overrated. If your life is happier, your writing will be better.

The future of retail begins right now

Communicast: Smyth Road school teachers [Like Mr. O] rock!

Mr. O and I have worked together before but never like this.  I enjoyed Lego club with our family’s second-grader but when remote learning started, I found myself pressed into service as a para-professional by my recently-returned from-retirement teacher/wife.  Seemingly overnight, we transformed our favorite living space into a one-room-schoolhouse to accommodate the kindergartener, second- and fourth-graders ensconced there.
