Golijov in Vienna by Teju Cole
Via Alex Ross’s blog I was drawn to a post by Teju Cole on his blog modal minority. He describes a dream-like occurrence involving small and windy alleys in Vienna and a clarinet quintet by Osvaldo Golijov.
As he writes about seeing “people being forcibly led from their homes in the middle of this hot summer’s [...]
The Story Factor
I have just finished Annette Simmons’ book The Story Factor. The book is a guide and sort of a how-to on influencing through storytelling. Although it was an easy and fairly short read, it took me a long time to finish the book. A couple of months to be honest.
This is not a criticism on [...]

What if turns reality for Obama
I have heard many times that if Oprah Winfrey would endorse a presidential candidate, it would make all the difference. It is a dreamy what if scenario and maybe the ultimate endorsement. To my knowledge, Oprah has never endorsed a particular candidate. Until today. In a move that might well prove to be a very [...]

Appreciating music by making a connection
As this month is Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15), I decided to look back again on my trip to Mexico last July. Since coming back from Mexico, I have taken much more interest in Mexican culture, and music in particular.
With its vibrant Mexican community, Chicago has much to offer in Mexican music. In August, [...]
Local history keeping me busy
My recent surge of interest in genealogy has also led me to revisit the history of Erp, the town where I was born and lived for the first 19 years of my life. I have a copy of a book on the history of Erp, written by the town’s priest A.P.M. Meuwese in 1955. This [...]
