The Coaching Corner Weekly Digest - April event preview

I wouldn’t be doing my job if I let April Fool’s Day go by without a bad joke. Here’s one I can barely get through:

How do you make an octopus laugh?

Ten tickles oughta do the trick.

PS. In the last newsletter I quizzed you about the largest desert in the world.

The answer is Antarctica.

If that seems counterintuitive, remember that deserts are categorized because of the lack of precipitation. And though Antarctica is icy, there’s less snowfall than you might think.

PPS. Weird Halberstadt fun fact: I was once commissioned to write a stage play about climate change, and chose to write a pageant of Antarctic history. I was given a budget to hire a science consultant, and selected a glaciologist named Ruthie Halberstadt — no relation. Last I heard, she still uses my script in her class.
