This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Thanksgiving in New York
Some of my readers may remember last year's Wisdom of the Hands Thanksgiving adventure. You can read all about it in last year's November blog posts. This year we are at it again, in a friend's apartment at 103rd and Broadway, NYC, just ten blocks from my daughter Lucy's dorm at Columbia U. More will be coming in the next few days as we cook up a storm. And then eat. My only skills are to chop and take photos and follow directions. Returning to the WOH Thanksgiving kitchen will Be Jane Tucker and part of her last year's cast, plus a few more. This year, we all arrived by air, so it will be a special culinary challenge, similar to what you might see on the food channel... top chefs competing to deliver a perfect Thanksgiving dinner in New York, newly arrived, shoppping in new foodmarkets, in an untested kitchen. With Jane, anything can happen. For a preview of coming attractions, visit last year's blog posts.
I have no doubt it'll be a great hit. Another form of craft.
