About cyclingrandma
I was a journalist (Danbury News-Times, Ct), before becoming a teacher, and continue to write for professional journals. I have written several study guides for Penguin Books and write for Education Update, a newspaper based in New York City. (www.educationupdate.com). I’ve interviewed many authors, college presidents, and scientists. I wrote “The Kentucky Derby’s Forgotten Jockeys” for Smithsonian Magazine's website, www.smithsonian.com. (April, 2009). Two essays have been published in book anthologies; one for Wisdom of Our Mothers, (Familia Books) and the other in “College Search and Parent Rescue: Essay for Parents by Parents of College-Going Students.” (St. Martin’s Press).
I was a middle school Language Arts teacher for more than 10 years and have just completed a five year grant position under No Child Left Behind in Newark, NJ public schools.
I have three children, two daughters-in law, two grandsons, and one grandchild due in August, 2011. I’m an avid cyclist, knitter, cook, and reader. I love theater, museums, and yoga.
You have a beautiful family!
Thanks! They are lots of fun.

Great idea and beautiful pix – here’s to 2013!
Wonderful Lisa! You accomplished a lot— blogging and personally, in 2012!
Thanks! And thanks to you for your participation. Though it looks like a lot, why does it always feel that I’m not doing enough? Not getting up early to write, the play project is sitting, can’t seem to find inspiration for blog posts, etc. etc.

It’s all a vicious spiral sometimes. Just say “good enough.” And know that it is.
ok, thanks, Dawn.
So glad I found your blog in 2012! You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Happy 2013!
