I wanted to share a friend’s post today. My new blogosphere writing friend, Kwana Jackson, wrote the coolest post the other day about how Frank McCourt — Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angela’s Ashes who passed away at 78 this week — was her high school creative writing teacher! How very cool. I wanted to put the link here so you could read her story about him and his effect on her life: Kwana’s story of Frank McCourt.

And while you’re there, peruse Kwana’s site. It’s a great one. She has the neatest, happiest, most upbeat attitude. I always go there knowing she’s going to have some fun, fast read, and I always leave feeling happier. Plus her daily updates on her little dog Jack are just too cute.
