Bernstein: Kudos To Our Amazing Music Teachers
By CHRISTINE BERNSTEINMy son plays trumpet in the band at Los Alamos High School. Last year, at the end of the season, they had parent night. Each parent stood on the field with their student and followed them through their routine. This was an amazing thing to be a part of.

I shadowed him around the field. He ignored me and all Read More

By STEPHEN F. LEDOUX
The magazine, Consumer Reports, regularly carries articles on the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight, even if that requires some special diet. All too commonly, people claim that to maintain a diet one must restrain oneself from all the chocolates (Heaven forbid!) and one must exert lots of will power to eat only the right foods in the right amounts.
