What I listened to on a podcast, led to my reading the book

While walking around town, I am frequently listening to a book on tape, or to a podcast, or on busy roads, music. One podcast in the regular queue is with Adam Grant. 

"Your brain on art" with authors Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen on the WorkLife with Adam Grant
https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/your-brain-on-art-with-ivy-ross-and-susan-magsamen/id1346314086?i=1000638235681  I don't have an Apple device as the podcast is usually available via multiple podcast apps.  

The podcast episode was so good, I went to get the Audible book. The book is much more detailed (of course) and worth it.

Samples from the Franklin Public Schools K-12 Winter Art Showcase - Dec 13, 2023


Catching up to sharing more of the photos of the Franklin Public Schools K-12 Winter Art Showcase which was held in a short period from 4:30 to 6:30 PM in the FHS Library/Media Center on Wednesday, Dec 13, 2023.

I had shared a sample initially on Wednesday via Instagram.  What I wrote then is still good upon review today:
"Just a sample of the art displayed here at the high school from around the district. I wish there was more space to share these works, and more time for folks to come & see. The variety and quality is amazing!"
The link to the Instagram post -> https://www.instagram.com/p/C0zx9MVxhXH

The album with all the photos I captured on Wednesday. Please take time to review them, the work being showcased is amazing.
