Dear Boundless Families: I was watching your kids trudging through the heavy snowfall this morning on their way to English class. This is a workout all on its own. Lift those knees high and squint to keep the frozen water molecules from stinging your eyes. I had to...

Dear Boundless Families: I came into my office this morning with a laptop in one hand and a chainsaw in the other. Greeted with snickers and eye-rolls by my colleagues, I am not sure if what they saw was irony, absurdity, or the perfect metaphor for this hybrid...

Dear Boundless Families: I arrived back at Boundless a couple of days ago. I have belly laughed with your kids ever since. I have taught them, played chess and bantered with them. Sadly, I also smelled a few. Hey, they are busy sweating through their routines, and...
