Question What You Know

What I’m about to disclose may seem weird, or familiar, depending on the kind of person you are.  Last week our Corona Book Club met to discuss our recent pick, and as I sat down to put together my thoughts on it, I was reminded of an ad campaign from my youth.  I googled the […]

Corona Summer Camp 2015: AAPOR

In my case, summer camp usually meant summer orchestra, which was the best. Not only did I get to play music for hours every day, I also […]
