Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. Saturday, on what would have been his 109th birthday, we celebrate the author behind those words — Dr. Seuss — by doing a whole lot of caring about children’s literacy. The festivities have gone on all week to push literacy as a priority.
E-readers killed the book shops and the MP3 murdered record stores. Will digital format be the death of independent theaters? At my favorite neighborhood movie house, Screenland Armour, two new projectors with new sound systems are going to cost nearly $110,000.
Rebecca and Sean Ishum kept the faith. They never quit believing their quadruplet babies would make it. We all prayed. And on Saturday, the quads turn 2. It may not be a Sweet 16, but for preemies, this is a coming of age.
Just weeks ago I was at Happy Gillis celebrating my co-worker’s 50th birthday. We had margaritas, salsa, chips and more baked goods than I can remember. I wouldn’t expect less from a foodie like her.
