This is heavy stuff, especially about education, with walls and discipline aiding the creative process. Introducing David Zinn (to me, at least), was a big bonus. That too is a teaching moment: excellence and celebrity is not delivered by social media; it is earned with shoe-leather trial-and-error. Thank you.

Nice chalk drawings! I live in Ann Arbor and love the sudden surprise when I come across David Zinn’s chalk art. It’s a nice reminder to add a little whimsy to life and not take things so seriously….whether art, cooking, writing, being a functioning human being in this world, etc. Also, I absolutely love your advice column. Thanks for putting it out there in the world
