The Philadelphia Orchestra is starting up again after the summer break, and once again I’m glad to be part of the eZseatU program ($25 for a full year of free concerts). My first experience with Berlioz was to see Faust, which was good but I hadn’t been so enthralled that I went out and got [...]

Back in Philadelphia, which is quickly vaulting itself into Spring (with some crazy thunderstorms – hail!), and classes have started once more.

Well, not really Christmas. Yesterday the roommate and I went to Rittenhouse Square to see the tree-lighting. The promise of booths and fun was sort of ruined by the rain – there ended up being about two booths, 50-odd people, and a somewhat disappointing tree, although there were some good times had thanks to free [...]

Since I’m officially t.b. free and off of Academic Hold, I thought I’d update. This post is related to neither Philadelphia nor libraries, but oh well, it’s my blog.
One of my all-time favorite radio programs is Radio Lab, from WNYC, which I heard about from This American Life. Although they’ve been on a break while [...]
