Taking and Making: February 21

Today, I took in:

the rest of The Underground Railroad (review forthcoming!)

the Handel Hendrix House in Mayfair — Hendrix lived at 23 Brook Street for a couple years during the height of his fame, and Handel lived the latter half of his life at 25 Brook Street

 

I made:

a rash decision to accept a large canvas print of Sydney Harbor, which a colleague was throwing out unless it found a good home — the living room is now a bit more international

Taking and Making: February 19

Today, I took in:

The first two chapters of The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

three episodes of Person of Interest

 

I made:

the rest of a post on Hidden Figures for Black History Month (really enjoyed writing that one)

good progress on learning some tricky parts of Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” in choir
