Next month Whittaker Road Library is going to host the writers of Curious George. They too left France due to the invasion. With them? No monkeying around. Sounds like a fun weekend.

Irish music would certainly put me in the mood to attend a lecture on the Holocaust.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe some Irish brew to go with it?
