Here’s my story from today’s paper, on why urban superintendents seem to burn out so quickly.

I’m in New York City, on vacation, gazing out over the treetops of Central Park. Life is good.

ATTENTION NEW YORK READERS: The CD Mix of the Month Club will have its first NYC reunion Monday evening at The Magician, 118 Rivington St. (Lower East Side, map here.) All crabwalk.com readers are invited. If you want to play, make a mix CD and bring a copy (or 12) to the bar — we’ll be swappin’ like sexually liberated ’70s suburbanites. If you just want to come say hello, that’s great, too. I’ll be getting there a little after 6:00 p.m — most folks are showing up around 7 or 8. Hope to see you there.

Hey Josh!
Nice story today. I've been derelict in my duty --that is to be an informed and well-read education reporter for the Windy City's Tribune.
Amazing what a short vacation with my parents who were in town and a big car wreck on Lake Shore Drive will do to my attention span and concentration.
So anyways, while I was getting back in the saddle so-to-speak, it was refreshing to see your story as one of Ed Week's picks of the day.
Hope you are having fun in NY you ragin' cajun city swinger you!
