Monday Miscellany

"Monday Miscellany" posts contain lots of links to a variety of sources that I find interesting...

Something about this poem made me think of The Lovely Bones, but everybody should watch it.

And then there's this, from RadioLab, about what actually happens inside a chrysalis...it's fascinating (and a spring-time topic).

You might have seen this on the Duluth News Tribune's website, but here's the DNR Eagle Webcam feed (I couldn't find a way to embed it, or I would have).

I listen to a number of public radio shows, when I have time, and here are links to some of them:

• "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me" is a lot of fun
• Michael Feldman's "Whad' Ya Know?" is a great alternative to Prairie Home Companion
• Krista Tippett's "On Being" is often interesting
• Lynne Rossetto Kasper's "The Splendid Table" (maybe I'll make this for lunch next week…or maybe this…)
• "The Moth Radio Hour" is always interesting
• "Wits"with John Moe
• "This American Life" should be required
• "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross
• "StoryCorps" is also pretty cool

Remember that conference Madame Greenan and I went to last summer in Memphis? Well, we just found out we're going back again this summer, to give a presentation on what it was like to go through our first year of the 1:1 program.  

Yep, that's us in the conference program...

And, to whet your appetites for the Random Acts of Shakespeare,  coming up in April (does anyone know why April would be the appropriate month?), I give you this--one of my favorites from the past…Enjoy!
