Show Your Work was featured in Edutopia 12/15/23 as one of five non-educational books for teachers. Other noteworthy authors were Jon Acuff and Gretchen Rubin (Life in Five Senses).
I've had Anni Albers sketchbook a while. I got On Weaving after you mentioned it earlier this year, but have only looked at the pretty pictures. Both are by my chair in the living room. I need to set aside time to read--I always think if there's time to sit, there's time to do something with my hands.
I binge watched the first season of Jack Reacher & loved it! You are right...Tom Cruise is totally wrong. I especially liked that Reacher bought clothes at second hand stores, and was a true minimalist when it came to things, but a maximalist when it came to noticing the life he was in & around him! Haven’t ready any of Childs and don’t think I will.
I forgot about the term "Dead Week"! 🤦♂️ I posted on various socials my theory that if you celebrate Christmas, December is really the shortest month of the year. I referred to Dead Week as "Betwixt Holiday Limbo Days" which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
You are the first person I’ve ever seen reference Claymation Christmas that wasn’t my family. We had it on a worn out vhs, taped from tv, and watched it over and over this time of year. That link is treasure. Thank you!

Ah thank you. I’ve heard that from other educators -- it’s really a book about education. Wasn’t familiar with that site. https://www.edutopia.org/article/non-education-books-teachers/

Classic - you sent me down a rabbit-hole about Goethe before I could even read #1 :) Curious to read more about his thoughts on color. Happy holidays!
Will you be publishing a list of your favorite Epigraphs of 2023?
I don't know! I hadn't planned on it, but maybe in the new year
I will get the on weaving books by Anni Albers :) Looks amazing. Thank you! Merry Christmas
Kurt Vile did a cover of "Must Be Santa" with his kids, super cute. And if you don't know Kurt's music, a much better discovery awaits!
