Some Kind of Monster

Well, it’s been fun blogging this week at Eduwonk. Special thanks to Renee Rybak at Ed Sector for getting our posts up daily. I think we were a total disappointment to frequent commenter John Thompson who wanted us to take on the hard policy issues of the day.  What can I say, it’s August in DC. Time to lay off the hard stuff.

I was reminded this week of the challenge in keeping up with a blog—it is truly the monster that must be fed.  Every day, several times a day.  Hard to have a real job and keep it up—hats off to Andy.  I suspect he doesn’t need a lot of sleep.  My personal theory on life is that people who need a lot of sleep don’t make history. Me, my dream would be to get nine hours a night, but I have two kids under the age of four, so I haven’t gotten enough sleep in, let’s see, about four years.

Speaking of sleep and creatures that go bump in the night, if you have never seen Some Kind of Monster, I urge you to put it in your Netflix queue. It’s about the heavy-metal band Metallica going through group therapy. I kid you not. It’s the struggle within.
