Every Friday we bring you a chat about the media we’ve been consuming. This week, Wheel of Time, Try Guys, and (what a surprise) classical music. Enjoy! Adam Writes: The Wheel of Time So. I’m about halfway through book ten of the fourteen book series. I find it fits surprisingly well into my day. I’m…

Watch/Listen/Read: Why I Read
Erika Writes… One of those Weeks I don’t know what’s going on this week. Things just feel unsettled. As I worked on the piece I shared this week, something just felt… off. The weather was cold and yucky, the topic was difficult to write about. Everything was, and has continued to be, a little bit…

Erika Writes February is here already? I don’t know how that happened. I don’t know where this week has gone either. New Bells and Whistles on the Website With the weather fluctuating between “it’s cold enough to warn you about raining iguanas” and “It’s not anywhere near April so why does it feel that way,”…
Watch/Listen/Read: Banning Books and Other Concerns
Adam Writes: The Fragility of Mozart I’ve been playing that one Mozart piano sonata every young pianist learns when they take formal lessons (Sonata #16 in C major, K.545). Specifically the middle movement. I often have this problem with Mozart (more, I think, than other composers) where most of a piece is… fine. And then…

Erika Writes: Goodbye Sidney Poitier I’m writing this with the movie To Sir With Love playing in the background. It’s one of my favorite Sidney Poitier films, and always good for a good cry–fitting it seems, upon hearing of the passing of Sidney Poitier. It’s hard to choose a favorite film–the first one I ever…
Watch/Listen/Read: New Year’s Edition
Erika Writes: I would love to be able to do a wrap up for the year, but to be honest, I haven’t kept track of enough of what I’ve watched, listened to or read this year. I’ll save that for next year, perhaps when there’s a full year of posts to reflect on. Looking Back…

Erika Writes: Shakespeare, Sedaris, and Such This week did not start out with anything as remarkable as last week’s ugly crying. It actually began with a birthday celebration for one of my kids. Beyond that, I’ve been trying to keep myself distracted because I had expected to hear about something very important on Wednesday only…
