Paintings, Origami, & Paper at the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum

admin | March 31, 2009

I spend so much time working & communicating via my laptop that when I hear someone talk about sending someone a note, one that’s handwritten on paper, my first thought is often, “Paper? What is this paper of which you speak?” Granted, I still prefer to read books & magazines on paper–Kindle, you have not [...]

A Tale of Four Book Readings

admin | March 31, 2009

What moves you? Politics? Birds? Mysteries? Pants? OK, if not pants, how about sisterhood? If one of these themes strikes your fancy, you won’t want to miss these free readings that I found in this week’s Sunday AJC:

On April 2 at 7:00 p.m., Ann Brashares, author of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” will read [...]

50% off Tickets to Atlanta Ballet’s Don Quixote

admin | March 27, 2009

Some days, I think we’re all just chasing after windmills. Based on the Atlanta Ballet’s online summary, I can’t tell if that iconic scene will be replayed on stage during its production of “Don Quixote,” but with so many rich, imaginative scenes in the Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s original work, it should be a fun [...]
