Did you know there are competitive middle school Scrabble teams? I didn’t either, but now I do, thanks to
Stefan Fatsis. Stefan is a sports journalist whose book about competitive Scrabble,
Word Freak, is marvelously engaging, and he coaches
school Scrabble in D.C. I’m going to help him when the school year starts up again, and I couldn’t be more excited. This is the longest stretch of my life I haven’t done some sort of work directly with (other people’s) children, and while my current volunteer work as a
cooking school assistant is gustatorially
