No, I cannot get you Cliff Notes

For some inexplicable reason I've recently received multiple requests in my comments section for the Cliff Notes to Life of Pi. Just fyi for all the high school students out there--my relationship to Cliff Notes ended decades ago. Is Life of Pi now required reading or on the SATs now?

Speaking of SATs and high school, I went to the APEN open house tonight and got to see some of the young women I used to work with from Alameda HS. I got to toast their under-age selves to celebrate their recent acceptance to various colleges. Nowadays, many colleges post acceptance notices online...soon the days of obsessively waiting for the mail will be over. I'm feeling old.

I rounded out my evening with another excellent meal by Eddie and a typically frustrating overtime Knicks loss. Hey, at least baseball is just around the corner.

Cliff Notes for Life of Pi?? Wha? I can understand reading Cliff Notes for War & Peace or some Jane Austen novel....but Life of Pi? That was such a fun, non-school book. Kids these days. Sheesh.

Speaking of SATs - did you know that written essays are now part of the test? Ouch.
