Mah Jong Memory

I REMEMBER MAH JONG through a haze of memory and my mother’s Benson & Hedges cigarette smoke. The mysterious ivory tiles, abundant in number and exotic in design took center stage on a card table in our living room, set on long, sleek wooden racks with surplus tiles stacked in rows and others spilling into the table’s center.

The Heirs

ELEANOR BELONGED to that class of New Yorker whose bloodlines were traced in the manner of racehorses: she was Phipps (sire) out of Deering (dam), by Livingston (sire’s dam) and Porter (dam’s dam).

Colonial Day Along The Gold Coast

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT COLONIAL DAY? At Nathan Hale One Regret Elementary School, where our son Oliver attends fifth grade, it’s a BIG production in which the school gym is transformed into a kind of Colonial America mall. Students research life as a particular colonial artisan and collect props and design shop signs to create their “storefront” in a refrigerator box. Colonial Day teaches students how to work as a team, hone their public speaking skills and spend money.

What Becomes A Landmark Most?

I AM KNEELING in damp grass marveling at an anachronism in the world of Ubers and Waze: a sandstone marker about two feet high, handcarved with an old fashioned “24 M…” and missing its remaining “iles to New York.” It is mortared into a long wall and looks out on US 1 like some Knight Templar of American history. In the 1800s, this is how you might have found “the old Jay place” in Rye. Even with its inscription fragmented, it conjures visions of mail carriers on horseback, with dirt-streaked, buckled shoes wedged into stirrups looking for a familiar guidepost to tell them the distance to their secret assignation or a good beer down the road.

We Can End America's Addiction Crisis... But Only Together

I HAD A HORRIBLE FEELING that late October Friday in 2012. God knows, I’d been in that situation many times before – wondering if Austin was OK. But this time felt different. That Wednesday, he leftvoicemails that sounded confused – from a friend’s phone, because Austin had misplaced his, again.

The Case For Taking A Gap Year

ACADEMIC BURNOUT is a growing issue for students across the U.S. Far from being “the best years of our lives,” most will recount that high school was like living on a conveyor belt of SAT tests, extracurriculars, and self-doubts while under extreme pressure to rack up achievements that might help you to stand out from the crowd. Students graduate with a sigh of relief, hopefully anticipating a future full of opportunities, only to be body-slammed by another four years of even more intense academic pressure. Some students roll with the punches and learn to juggle essays and schedules and “adulting,” but a growing number are being leftbehind.
