Why We're So Quiet

Wondering what happened to us? We're like little beavers at our desks pounding away at the keyboard (just not on the blog - lol). Must be the week before press! We are busy putting the final editing touches on stories and working closely with the lovely and talented Laura Oertling (our art director and New Orleans' transplant) on the layout of the magazine. I'm super excited about this issue ... we just finished editing an enlightening piece on the new gender gap in the classroom, plus a moving feature on "Children of the Storm" — Katrina evacuees one year later. We have a surprise too - one of our sections is being redesigned at this very moment to make it even more reader-friendly ... can't wait to hear your feedback. So all the copy is in Laura's hands (except the Editor's Note, of course ... I'm always late!). I guess we can get back to blogging now … I mean working on October’s issue. Cheers. --shelley
