I was lucky enough to get to spend the day in Boston with my friend Denell and her husband Erik before I traveled to New York for my College Board advisory committee meeting. I asked and asked them to allow me to interview them about their literacy so that I could add their voices to my sabbatical studies, but they somehow managed to avoid it. They were too shy to talk about their reading and writing lives (they are both professors), but not embarrassed to pose for a photo on a donkey in front of Boston's Old City Hall?

After walking around the city, really something exhausting like 200 blocks, she collapsed in my hotel room to answer my questions. Even exhausted, she's amazingly insightful. I love that Marsha (which does not imply that I don't love Erik and Denell because they wouldn't be videotaped--they did lead me to crabcakes and yummy sweet potato fries).
