After a long talk among family members last week, the decision was reached that I shouldn't run for a seat on the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Community School Board. It was decided that I could run--if I wanted to--in two years, after my son graduated from high school.

He is right: I don't know. But he is teaching me well...and quickly.
I will continue to blog those lessons.
Pace!
