This summer, I worked in a bookstore, a job I’ve wanted — and idealized — for a long time. “It doesn’t matter what work they’ll have me doing,” I told my mom insistently when she pointed out the other work that comes with the job. “I’ll be able to talk with people about books.” Then […]
Did you know … Dan Muse, a Canton High School graduate, was recently hired as an assistant coach by the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League.

Dear Editor: My morning commute on Washington Street is a daily exercise in micro road rage. If I obey speed limits, I’ll be tailgated, flashed, and honked at by the vehicle behind me.
