Below is my very own “amazingmom” announcement: a planto introduce a new title,Single&Smart Magazine (andwww.singleandsmart.com) intoWestchester and Fairfield Counties.It is aimed, quite simply, at providinga regular flow of information ofinterest to single adults. I havebeen single for over three yearsnow, and in adapting to a newlifestyle, I find myself devouringinformation I would come across that seemed relevant…ontopics as diverse as negotiating in a divorceor managing my finances to battling loneliness, eatingfor one, getting along with your ex, keeping old friends,making new friends, or re-discovering and navigating,for better or for worse, the ups and downs of datingagain after 20 years of marriage.That kind of information seemed to come at me randomlyfrom a variety of sources. I thought it might beuseful to address a single adult population in a magazineand website tailored for singles and also provide aregional tie. Perhaps create a greater sense of communityamong singles. I’m excited about it, and welcomeyour thoughts and ideas at editor@singleandsmart.com.COMINGSOON!J U S T B E T W E E N U SAmazing MomS i n g l e A n d S m a r t . c o mTo keep up with that news and with snippets of InsideChappaqua news in general, I suggest becoming a fanof Inside Chappaqua on Facebook by going tohttp://www.facebook.com/InsideChappaquaMagazine.You can also now access that link atwww.insidechappaqua.com. I also occasionally “Tweet” onTwitter.com but I’m being told not nearly enough. KrisRuby, whose tips on launching your career using SocialMedia, has been helping me along on that front andshe’s come on board to help you too, beginning with hercolumn on page 12. Another resident Social Media powerhouse,Nancy Shenker, recently introduced me to anew networking group in town called BIG that can alsohelp moms at any stage of launching a new business orcareer. Lisa Ballou reports on page 8.There are at least a few Amazing Mom stories that carrythis issue. One is the tale of the Headway Foundation andthe work of Ed and Maya Manley of Chappaqua in caringfor children with cancer. It was brought to my attention byTodd Shapera, a talented Pocantico Hills photographer whovolunteers for the foundation too. Pam Brown reports andTodd’s pictures tell the story amply. On page 28, RandyStuart reflects on the unconditional love of mothers. Andthere’s the cover story. I don’t even know what to sayabout Janet Angier that Maggie Patrick-Sternin doesn’t inher profile of this very accomplishedmusic educator. I hope her true grit storyinspires you.

IN&AROUNDT O W NTeens and Texting TutorialBY JACKIE RIDERMaybe you read a newspaper articleabout teen “sexting,” or sendingsexually inappropriate photos or textmessages via cell phone and wonder ifyou should you worry that your ownteen is involved. Probably not, accordingto a recent Chappaqua PTA presentation,“Teens & Technology: WhatParents Need to Know.”On the other hand, one in fourAmerican teens who drive say theyhave texted while driving, and half ofall teens ages 12 to 17 say they’ve beena passenger while a driver has textedbehind the wheel, reports AmandaLenhart, senior research specialist atthe Pew Research Center inWashington, D.C. A separate study[Virginia Tech Research Inst.], foundthat texting takes a driver's focus away from the roadfor an average of 4.6 seconds, enough time to travel thelength of a football field at 55 mph. Now there’s somethingto worry about.Ms. Lenhart shared her findings from the Pew Internet &American Life Project's research on teens, children andfamilies, which she directs. Most of her words were reassuringto anxious parents. Only four percent of cellowningteens ages 12-17 say they have sent sexuallysuggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos ofthemselves to someone else via text messaging; 15% saythey have received such images of someone they knowvia text message, her study finds.But conventional wisdom says and Ms. Lenhart’s researchconfirms that, as she said, “Teens are overwhelminglyonline.” Sixty-five percent are online daily. “Teens consistentlyled the pack on internet adoption,” when comparedwith adults age 30 and older she added. And, while 81%of teens go online for entertainment,half of middle schoolers and even moreolder teens go online for news andinformation. Ms. Lenhart wanted parentsto know that teens often turn tothe Internet for sensitive health information.Social networks like Facebook are acritical part of teens lives, though lessso for middle schoolers. Teens usuallyhave more than one profile, but theyhave “gotten the message” about privacysettings, she said, and 60% haverestricted information about themselvesand access to their accounts.Many parents worry about onlinepredators, and Ms. Lenhart reportedthat online friendships with strangersdo happen, but not much. Only about7% report online contact with a stranger that madethem uncomfortable. Rather, their online network replicatestheir existing social network at school. “They stayin touch with the friends they already have,” she said.Online bullying or harassment, however, is a biggerissue, she said, with 32% of surveyed teens reporting it.Teens are not twittering, and blogging among that agegroup has flattened out or declined, but they are texting.“Their energy for social networking is going into theircell phones,” Ms. Lenhart said. Her research found that75% of teens have cell phones and 66% text, while 83% ofadults have cell phones and 59% text. (A Pew reportspecifically on cell phones will be coming out soon.) Here’swhere her voice grew cautionary.“Teens see what we adults do with our phones and howwe interact with technology, whether we’re glued to ourlaptops as soon as we get home, and if we’re using ourcell phones while driving,” she warned. Ms. Lenharturged parents to monitor their children’s use of socialtechnology with “involved respect.”“Tell your kids that you'd like to see their profiles/pages/onlineactivities and explain why. Ask themabout what they're doing online, who they're talking to,and what engages them and listen to their response. It'salso important to allow teens more autonomy and privacyas they grow older—because some day very soonthey'll be navigating the online world without your guidanceor intervention. And engage your kids to get themto teach you about the technologies they use and whythey like them. All of this helps keep parents more up todate and gives kids a sense of accomplishment to beteaching their parents something.”6 Inside Chappaqua May 2010

In The Loupe...Red CarpetReviewby Varda SingerSpringtime lifts ourspirits with longer daysand warmer weather. It is also the timewhen our calendars become filled with celebratoryevents. Our hectic daily lives allow usjust enough time to get out of the houselooking somewhat put together. So to dressand accessorize for the occasional formalevent can be a bit overwhelming.Coco Chanel, Jackie O., Grace Kelly werejust a few of the classy and elegant womenof recent generations. Their combination ofintelligence, style and charisma was oftenmore compelling than their merely beingfashionable—or in fashion.The media, specifically the Oscars, is agreat vehicle for ideas on perfecting a lookfor an evening event. Half of the fun of theOscars is watching the stars walk the redcarpet in their designer gowns and jewelry.Most of us form our own best-dressed andworst dressed lists.There was sparkle and more sparkle atthe 2010 Oscars. This year was all aboutstatement bracelets.

Janet Angier’s life has been full ofdisappointment, near misses, andoutright disaster. But you wouldnever know it to speak with her.When we first meet, the former fitmodel, an extremely youthful 44,looks lovely in a floaty blouse, platformblack patent leather sandalsand jeans. Her home is a neat contemporarytucked in the woods ofWhipporwill--its peace and quietelegance mirrors the ambiance atMusic in Chappaqua on NorthGreeley Avenue, a sparkling, modernspace. Each of four studios at theschool has a beautiful Steinwaygrand piano and dark grey wallsdecorated with framed head-shotsof its students. The studio for therock workshops looks like a recordingstudio, with space enough forfull band practice.Janet has a keen understanding ofwhat kids find “cool,” and hasarranged for her young rock musiciansto perform at clubs in NewYork City such as the Village’sfamous Bitter End, and recently onMarch 20th at a benefit for Haiti atCrash Mansion, an Indie rock clubon the Lower East Side. Loads ofvideos of the amazing young rockerscan be seen on You Tube (search for“Chappaqua Rocks,” and be sure tocheck out Up 4 Grab’s fantastic renditionof Boston’s Peace of Mind atthe Bitter End).On the classical side, teacherMonica Ohuchi’s prodigous pianostudent Angela Sun, an 8th graderat the Robert E. Bell School, won theMusic Teacher’s NationalAssociation State competition inNew York, and went on to 2nd placein the Eastern Regional competition.Angela has even played in CarnegieHall’s Weill Hall.Janet grew up in a house full ofmusicians, was teaching piano lessonsby the age of 14, and seriouslystudying the oboe. She clearly hadmusical talent, but she didn’t inheritit from the family surrounding her—JANET IN CHAPPAQUA“Still Standing” and Better than EverBY MAGGIE PATRICK-STERNINPHOTOS BY DANIELLE DEVITOMichaela, Victoria, Ana, Janet and Mike inside their Chappaqua home.she was adopted. She longed toknow her birth parents, but was otherwisevery happy and well-adjusted.When it came time for college, sheattended the New EnglandConservatory of Music in Boston. As ajunior, she auditioned for a positionin the Taiwan National Symphony inTaipei to find its principal oboist—along shot for a 21-year-old Americancollege student. She won and left theConservatory for a new career inTaiwan with a life-long contract.In her position, Janet performed atthe opening concert of the 2070-seatgold and red Taiwan NationalSymphony concert hall. Her performanceincluded enormous workssuch as Saint-Saëns SymphonyNo. 3, Ravel’s orchestration ofMussorgsky’s Pictures at anExhibition and Beethoven’sSymphony #9. As principal oboist,she felt an enormous responsibilityto practice each piece to perfection.And practice she did, mastering twoor three hours of new music perweek. Twelve-hour practice dayswere not unusual.Janet returned to the U.S. in 1988,and continued to tour throughoutEurope with various orchestras. Butby 1989, Janet’s constant practicingand playing triggered painful tendonitisin her extensor muscle,which runs along the top of the armfrom the elbow to the wrist. Shetook some time off from the oboe,hoping to recover from her tendonitis.She also consulted anotherprincipal oboist who suffered fromthe same condition, and haddevised a special stand for her oboeto rest on while she played.Janet used the stand, but still didnot get the relief she was hoping for.“It was a bit of a slow death,” saysJanet. And a bitter pill to swallow—the career she had spent her lifepreparing for was over.In 1993, Janet rented an apartmentat the basement of 125 King Street,formerly the office of Dr. Roth, nowthe office of Drs. Lipari andMangiamelli. She also founded amusic school, Music in Chappaqua,where she taught piano.Meanwhile, Janet had been diligentlysearching for more informationabout her family of origin. Canadaprotects the rights of birth parentsvery strictly, and it took 11 years toreceive her birth information. Asher oboe career fell apart, the topicMay 2010 Inside Chappaqua 19

increasingly occupied Janet, and shewas thrilled when she received thepapers from the government agency.“I got to find out all this stuff thatmade me as welcome on the planetas everyone else. And that is what Ineeded.”But Janet also needed her birth parents’permission to contact them.Janet’s birth mother was profoundlyambivalent, and first gave, thenwithdrew her permission, then gaveit, and withdrew it again. Finally herbirth mother decided she simplycould not bear to speak to her.However, Janet’s birth father didcontact her, and they arranged tomeet in Montreal. Her father, itturned out, is a very successfullawyer in Canada. On her mother’sside, she came from four generationsof lawyers, including one whowas the Queen’s Prosecutor—theequivalent of the Attorney Generalof the United States. Janet was inawe of her father, who urged her topursue a career in law. The followingFebruary, she took the LSAT, andaced the exam, prompting multipleinvitations from law schools toapply. When Janet broke the news toher family back home that she wasLexi Childs, 15, performing at Crash Mansion, atMusic in Chappaqua’s March benefit for Haiti.changing careers, giving up music,and going to law school, they werebewildered. Concerned that Janetwas consumed with trying to pleaseher birth father, they urged her todefer and reconsider. Incredibly,when she decided to defer, her birthfather, citing the overwhelmingemotions involved in the new relationship,cut off all contact with her.In 1997, she got married, and boughta beautiful old Colonial at 225Quaker Road. In the years followingshe had two daughters, Michaela, 12,and Victoria, 9. The girls both playviolin, piano, and sing as well. Janetadored the house, and began todevelop an elaborate, long-term renovation.Over the next 10 years, shecleared the hill behind the house ofscrubby woods, built beautiful stonewalls and designed a hillside garden.She built a garage and a cottage,which she planned to connect to thehouse. During the long renovation,Janet changed the path of the drivewayso that it arched from the roadtoward the house. Under the drivewayran a stream, through a culvert(or tunnel) that had been built in the1930s by the Army Corps ofEngineers. The culvert was old, butseemed to function well.Yet, all was not what it seemed, particularlyin her marriage. The stressof the long renovation had taken itstoll: Janet’s marriage was dissolving.She and Paul agreed to separate, sellthe house, and divorce.The next months were the mostchallenging in Janet’s life.

when the Town of New Castle beganbuilding sidewalks, some of thedrainage in the area of Quaker Roadwas rerouted. This meant that substantiallymore runoff water wouldpass through the stream, and thusthrough the culvert beneath thedriveway. The culvert couldn’t handlean increased water flow. It collapsed,and so did Janet’s driveway.Thus began a months-long negotiationregarding the rebuilding of theculvert between all parties involved:Janet, the Town, the New York StateDepartment of Transportation, andeven the environmental watchdogRiverkeepers. When all was said anddone, Janet had poured thousandsupon thousands of dollars into thedriveway—before the culvert hadeven been repaired. Yet she wasdetermined to make the repairs necessaryto sell the house and to closethis painful chapter of her life.In the spring of 2007, Janet’s buildingplan was at last approved by theTown, the state, and Riverkeepers.She felt profoundly relieved. Themarket was good, and a good sellingprice seemed certain. In June of 2007,she invited contractors to bid on therepair of the culvert. When the bidarrived in the mail, however, thenews was shocking: the estimate wasnearly $300,000, more than shecould have ever paid. Soon after thatcame September 2007, the crash ofthe stock market and, of course, thedramatic fall in housing prices.The situation had essentially becomeimpossible. She could not afford torepair the driveway to the standardrequired by the state and the Town.Without the repair, the house couldnot be sold. In the fall of 2008, shemoved out, and began renting outthe house. The future of the houseremains uncertain to this day.During all these challenges, as atestament to Janet’s optimism anddetermination (as well as her outstandingstaff), her career in musiceducation continued to thrive. AtMusic in Chappaqua, 20 recitalseach spring demonstrate the lyricalskills of about 200 music students.The innovative rock music programtrains 50 students of electric guitar,bass, drums and vocals the delicateart of rocking the house. This summer,the school’s camp is expectedto enroll over 300 students.There’s a love story here too. Afterher divorce, Janet met MichaelMcTigue while getting fitted for skiboots at Hickory & Tweed; the twowere immediately smitten. Today,the couple have a beautiful oneyear-old daughter, Anastasia. Theolder girls are thrilled with theiryounger sibling, and the blendedfamily is doing beautifully.Like many of us, Janet is somehowweathering the financial storms ofthe last few years. Life is certainlynot perfect, but she counts herblessings and not her sorrows. Sheis, as she describes it, “Still standing!And happier than ever.” A good lessonfor all of us.MAGGIE PATRICK-STERNIN has written forInside Chappaqua since its first issuein 2003.

This non-profit isdedicated to the care, comfort, andcure of these children.Based in Chappaqua, the MakingHeadway Foundation was establishedin 1996 by Edward Manleyand his wife, Maya, along with ClintGreenbaum, whose children underwenttreatment for brain tumors.“Although we didn’t know it at thetime, we began to see symptomsthat Cynthia had a brain tumorwhen she was nine,” She was growingmore slowly, was always thirsty,and wasn’t gaining weight. It wasn’tuntil she reached fourteen and thefirst CAT scans were available thatwe saw she had a brain tumor,” saidManley. Cynthia underwent surgery,chemotherapy, and radiation, and isa survivor, but not without continuingmedical issues.Through their experiences, Manleyand Greenbaum discovered traditionalhospital-based medical programsfailed to provide essentialhumanistic services enabling childrento reintegrate physically andemotionally with his or her family,school, and peer groups. They feltthese children needed more thanthe finest medical care. Thus, thefoundation’s mission is to counterfear and discomfort with laughterand love; to replace confusion andbewilderment with understanding;and to make headway through eachimpasse to a place where the joy ofbeing a child and the joy of being aparent are nurtured and shared.The late Dr. Fred Epstein, pediatricneurosurgeon and Dr. Jeffrey Allen,a pediatric neuro-oncologist, havebeen avid supporters, and in 1996asked Making Headway to provide achild and family-friendly environmentat the Hyman-NewmanInstitute for Neurology andNeurosurgery (INN) at Beth IsraelMedical Center in New York City. Atthe same time, the foundationestablished an Ongoing CareProgram to help families maintaincontinued access to support groups,counseling, educational consulting,and periodic bereavement groups.22 Inside Chappaqua May 2010Making HeadwayToward Care and Comfort to Cancer PatientsBY PAMELA BROWNPHOTOS BY TODD SHAPERAA young patient at NYU Langone MedicalCenter with an art project provided throughthe Making Headway Foundation.In 2004, Making Headway began apartnership with NYU LangoneMedical Center, working with itsStephen D.

I N S I D E T H O U G H T SOn Mothers And Unconditional LoveBY RANDY STUARTThere will be a prominent vacancyat our Mother’s Day table thisyear. My father, husband of 61 yearsto my mother, died recently. Withmy brother, my only sibling, havingleft us 30 years ago, only tworemain from our family of four to,um, celebrate.Like many couples their age, myparents spent the vast majority ofthe past two decades together. Buttheir level of sharing reached aneven higher plane when my father’shealth hit the skids last year. Mymother, whose sense of self wasalways extremely strong, came torevolve completely around him. Allday and much of the night, everyday and night, at three differenthospitals for half a year. Makingsure he got what he needed. Makingsure he felt loved every moment.Worrying about things that mightnot even happen. Crying aboutthings that probably would.And then it was all gone in a flashin a single moment.As I struggle to help my mothercope with our loss, and watch hersuffer despite my best efforts, somethinghits me. Before my father’sdeath, she had always put mebefore herself. But what registersnow, three months after the fact, isthat the depth, breadth and intensityof her love never wavered. Shehas still managed to put me beforeherself, regardless how devastatingher new life is.Around the time we had our firstinklings that my father would nevercome home, I was blessed to havejoined lives with another very specialmother. A compassionate,smart, honorable, beautiful, sophisticatedand successful lady who, incontrast to me, has had to do everythingfor herself. A mother who continuallydemonstrates pure lovetoward a challenged and challengingson who may never know howlucky he was to be born to her. A26 Inside Chappaqua May 2010woman who is forced to spend farmore of her life in the crisis modethan a person should, yet always,always has the time and energy tolook into my eyes and ask what shecan do for me.It would probably be normal for mymother to feel threatened by thispotential interloper to my attentionand affection, particularly at such avulnerable time. Or resentful of thejoy I’ve been able to mix into mymourning while she grieves aroundthe clock. But she embraces hercompletely, tells me how happy sheis for me and means it even as tearsstream down her cheeks.“It is somethingmothers are born for.And give birth to.”un·con·di·tion·al ( n k n-d sh -n l).adj. Without conditions or limitations;absoluteWhen I think about these two specialmothers who make me feel sospecial, the only words that come tomind are Unconditional Love. It issomething mothers are born for.And give birth to. I have put myheart and soul into showing mymother Unconditional Love, but Ican’t quite get there, can’t quitegive her what she needs to feelgood. The way she made me feelgood all the times my life wascrumbling. Alas, Unconditional Loveonly works in one direction.Mothers’ love is unconditional bynature. We don’t hatch from eggsand immediately begin swimmingupstream against the forces of life,like fish. We’re not even born in latespring, nurse for a few months,learn to hunt, forage and eludepredators, and drop into the jaws ofnature a year or two later, likemammals in the wild. We needhelp, lots of it.Getting higher organisms like usready for our big solo gig is an allconsumingjob—at least it shouldbe—for a long, long time. And wehave evolved to do this over millionsof years, ever since it first becamean adaptive advantage to guard anest. And for those human motherswho don’t have the capacity to dropa litter of twelve in one shot, theoverlap of baby brothers and sistersstretches this period of total nurtureyet further.So the unconditional mode sets in(or should) at birth with us. Andafter enough years—maybe five orten—even begins to define the greatmoms. At what age do daughtersand sons become self-sufficient. 13?18? 21? 35? Never? At what ageshould they become self-sufficient?Some mothers choose to nurturetheir unconditional trait and carry itthrough to the end. Or perhaps itchooses them. Either way, these arethe women I dedicate these wordsto. The Ritas and the Christines; theGails and the Graces; the Elainesand the Jodis; the Deirdres and theJills; the mothers of the pre-schoolersI work with in town. You, if youare a mother. Your mother, whetheryou are one or not.And my message to everyone whohas or has had a mother is Love herwith all your heart and soul on thisspecial day. Love her unconditionallyfor this one day, because the restof the year Unconditional Lovethrives only in the hallowed groundof motherhood.And to honor your mother, helppass this love, help pass her magicseed, onto your children’s children’schildren.Happy Mother’s Day.RANDY STUART creates, teaches andaspires to unconditional love.

My name is Maggie Mae,and I am the Inside ChappaquaRoving Pup Reporter. With a nosefor news, I will give you the dog’seye view of Chappaqua andbeyond.January 13, 2008 was my lucky day.I was 12-weeks-old and came tolive in Chappaqua, a town I havegrown to love. Next to eating, one ofmy favorite things is to walk aroundtown. I have an elegant pink plaidleash that matches my collar.Hanging from my collar is a metaltag that was put on by my veterinarian. It tells everyonethat I got my rabies vaccination. One day my owner addedanother tag that makes a jingle-jangle when I walk. I didn’tlike the sound, so I decided to find out why I neededthis other tag, which my owner calls a dog license.On our next walk down town, I went straight to thesource—New Castle Town Hall, where Town Clerk JillSimon Shapiro works. I knew that was the place to sniffout the answer. She told me that the state and townlaws require all dogs to be licensed. Wearing the tag wasa good idea, she said, because dogs sometimes get lostand sent to a shelter. Without the new tag, that mighthappen to me. If I got lost, the tag would tell people whoI am, and they would take me back to my home.What Ms. Shapiro told me made me feel a lot betterabout the jingling tags. Then I told her that I have amicrochip under the skin between my shoulder blades.“That’s a good idea,” she said. “If your collar came offand you got lost, people could still find where you livedand take you back to your owner.” I felt safer than ever.I have rules in my house, and there are other rules fordogs which are on the town’s websitehttp://www.newcastle-ny.org/. Our town has a Dog ControlOfficer named James Moore. He enforces the town andstate dog codes and investigates complaints about dogsin town.In my travels down the streets of Chappaqua I meetdogs every day. I wondered how many dogs lived in NewCastle. “We have approximately 1,400 dogs licensed inour town,” Ms. Shapiro told me. “That means there isone dog for every 4.5 tax parcels.” I sure have a lot ofother dogs to meet!I asked her if she met them all when they came for theirlicenses. “Contrary to popular belief, people don’t need© Ronni DiamondsteinGetting the scoop at Town Hall, Maggie Mae meetswith Jill Simon Shapiro, Town Clerk, and Town of NewCastle Supervisor Barbara Gerrard.to bring their dogs into Town Hallfor their licenses,” she said. “Justthe paper work will do.”My visit to the Town Clerk was fun,and I learned a lot from her. WhenI see other dogs with their licensetags it makes me happy to knowthey are loved by their owners, justas I am. As I hurried home, I woremy license with pride and waggedmy tail at the jingle of the tags.Gee, I hope there is a treat waitingfor me at home!MAGGIE MAE lives in Chappaqua withher adoring owner RONNI DIAMONDSTEIN,who, when she isn’t walking Maggie isa freelance writer, PR consultant, award-winning photographerand a School Library Media Specialist and teacher who hasworked in the US and abroad.Chappaqua FriendsNursery School420 Quaker Road, Chappaqua, NY 10514914-238-6831 cfns@verizon.netAfternoon Pre-Ka child-centered, interactiveyear of exploration & discoveryfor young 5’s and older 4’sMorning Classesexploration & discovery for 3 & 4 year-oldsAt CFNS we value and nurtureintellectual curiosity, experiential learning,kindness, simplicity, community & respect for all.www.chappaquafriendsnurseryschool.orgMay 2010 Inside Chappaqua 29

R I C K ’ SLast LicksThe Graduating TimeBY RICK REYNOLDSIllustration by Rick ReynoldsAny parent of a high schoolsenior knows that strange timethat occurs when, after giving them17 of the best years of your life, itsuddenly dawns on your teenagerthat you’re history. After all, they’vesuccessfully stretched your rulesand aged their teachers. They’vethoroughly decaled your car anddriven it to who-knows-where? Theycan microwave canned ravioli whileglobally Facebooking 200 of theirBFFs. And they can text faster thanyou can speak—so why exactly dothey need you? I asked my daughterthe other day if she thought of meas nothing but an ATM with badbreath and she said, “Not any more:Mom gave me a debit card.” Then,just when you think you’ve seen thedepths of ungratefulness, they’llcurl up next to you like puppies andwant to be comforted.If this weren’t bad enough, there’sthe college visits, the applications,the FAFSA, the crying and whining,the “I can’t believe I have to write32 Inside Chappaqua May 2010250 whole words on why I want acollege education!” essays. Imagine;250 words! My doctor writes moreverbiage on my prescriptions. You’dthink they were being asked to writethe Magna Carta.Then there’s the histrionics: thewait and worry, the insecurity andsobbing, the indecision and fear—and that’s just the parents.Meanwhile, your senior is offdebiting her way out of angst anduncertainty partying with her fellowsenior debitors. And because it’syour money, there’s no such thingas debitor’s prison for these young,economic engines.Finally, there’s Mom. Moms don’tlike it when the objects of theirmotherhood leave the nest. What amess, but more on that in a minute.When I was a senior at Greeley andapplying to colleges, things weredifferent. Why, I can rememberbucking up and putting myshoulder to the wheel and…okay,truthfully, it was so long ago I can’treally remember how it was, but I’mquite sure it was different. I don’tremember actually filling outapplications. Somebody must have. Ido remember visiting a couple ofcolleges, but I didn’t know theirnames until we got there. So I don’tthink I complained much about theprocess. I also don’t think I wasworried about leaving home—oreven thought about it much—untilmy laundry became seriouslyfragrant after my first quarter oncampus. Later, my parents and Iboth agreed: when I went to college,none of us ever looked back.Now, people are much more intotheir feelings. My wife has startedpinning up pictures of our daughteron any vertical surfaces not alreadycovered by my diplomas. Oneminute my wife is pushing the kidout the door, and the next, she’scertain there must be some clericalmistake about her being old enoughfor college. How could this babewho singlehandedly inflated thestock price of Spaghetti-O’s be readyto leave the nest? she wants toknow. And now, with only a fewdesperate months left, mom anddaughter push off and pull backtheir love while I dodge the arrowsand wait for it all to hit me.Four college letters of acceptancehave now come in. They appear tobe legitimate—yep, theirwatermarks check out. So, I guessthis is it—the whole shootin’ match.Wow. Sure the girl used up all thehot water and had an AcademyAward winning temper: it wasstarting to grow on me. I doubtshe’ll ever know how proud we areof her. At least one of us is ready tograduate.Chappaqua alumnus and 35-yearresident, humorist RICK REYNOLDSresides in southern New Hampshirewith his wife, daughter and dog.
