I have to tell you a story. All true. It’s about the second-worst summer of my life. And to understand the second-worst summer of my life you really have to understand the week or so preceding it. Bad things come in threes? I was 19. Living in Tel Aviv. Studying history at the University. And though my life wasn’t exactly filled with joyful Disneyesque prancing in the forest, surrounded by obscenely cheerful birds, things were good. You know how it is. It’s life. It works.

I wrote about the ADDA conference on this blog, and I was fortunate enough to meet three people who have been long time subscribers of my newsletters at the confeEducation matters
