The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

On December 30th, 2003, Joan Didion and her husband John Gregory Dunne had sat down to dinner at home after spending the day with their daughter Quintana, who was in the hospital struggling with pneumonia and septic shock, when Dunne suffered a massive heart attack and died. The Year of Magical Thinking, which won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2005, is Didion's memoir of the year that followed Dunne's death. A portrait of a 40-year marriage, Didion's book is a lyrical and haunting story of grief.

Whether you've lived here for years or are new to Wallingford, we hope you will join us for a potluck story circle program. You'll meet other Wallingford folks and have the chance to share your story in a supportive and friendly venue. Bring a friend or neighbor with you. Please register in advance and bring a dish to share. This program is suitable for adults and young adults. 

We'll use these themes to share a 2-minute story with others at our table:
I will always remember the day when....
I'll never forget that moment when...
All things considered, ...

 

A meeting of people who love reading and writing poetry. SMwP provides poetic opportunities for anyone to share their poetry, discuss the literary works of poets known and unknown, and expand skills in writing and editing poems in the shared camaraderie of comfortable, supportive members.

Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Crapper did not invent the toilet. But who did? Better yet, when did people first start using toilets? And were they anything like the toilets we know today?

Presenter Kimberly Worsham will explore the long and fascinating history of toilets, from ancient Mesopotamia to today. We will walk through the not-so-short history and learn things like: why we should be grateful for Queen Elizabeth I, how toilets have been useful in wars, and the best reasons to visit Japan and Malaysia.

We will also learn about how even in current times, toilets are not as common as we often think they are, why that is, and what is being done about it - from Cambodia to San Francisco. Of course, we will also tastefully touch on how you can better your toilet experience in your own home and on the road. The class will be partly interactive, so bring all of your most curious questions and taboo tales.

Kimberly Worsham is a water & sanitation (WASH) specialist in the development industry. She is currently Manager of Monitoring and Evaluation for Safe Water Network. She discovered a passion for toilets early as a child who always needed to inspect restaraunt facilities, but was reminded of that love while consulting in India, and has continued her love by working on it in Australia and Cambodia. She's also a board member for the water organization NYC H2O. In different lives, she has worked in local government, corporate marketing, and even taught math in Rwanda. She received her MPA and B.Sc in business at NYU, and a Masters in Integrated Water Management from the University of Queensland as an International WaterCentre Scholar.

Jennie has been telling stories since 1987. However, the real adventure began when she started creating her own stories. Some of her stories are based on the unusual characters in her life, others are myths and fairy tales informed by personal experience, while others are old stories disguised in modern garb. No matter the source, Jennie's stories are witty, uplifting, and often poignant original stories that explore the triumphs and foibles of the human condition.

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" is one of the few memorable lines from Shakespeare's Henry the Sixth, Part 2, uttered by Dick the butcher, a character no one remembers. In this series, we won't kill any lawyers, but we'll meet a few of them who act as detectives in some highly regarded series.

This month: Open and Shut [2002] by David Rosenfelt
Whether dueling with new forensics or the local old boys' network, irreverent defense attorney Andy Carpenter always leaves them awed with his biting wit and winning fourth-quarter game plan. But Andy prefers the company of his best friend, Tara, to the people he encounters in the courtroom. Tara, a golden retriever, is clearly smarter than half the lawyers who clog the courts of Passaic County. However, just as it seems Andy has everything figured out, his dad, New Jersey's legendary ex-D.A., drops dead in front of him at a game in Yankee Stadium. The shocks pile on as he discovers his dad left him with two unexpected legacies: a fortune of $22 million that Andy never knew existed . . . and a murder case with enough racial tinder to burn down City Hall. Struggling to serve justice and bring honor to his father, Andy must dig up some explosive political skeletons-and an astonishing family secret that can close his case (and his mouth) for good.

More than a fabulous performer and award-winning composer, listeners have called Gladius a miracle in the making—the guitarist has prevailed over a crippling case of nerve damage which could have easily ended a musician's career.

Inspired by the great composers, Spanish guitar maestros, and more, Gladius is a musical mad scientist who fuses musical elements into a refreshing formula—evoking the Spanish spirit, yet distinctly unorthodox, mixing influences from classical to rock and beyond. Gladius defines innovation as a composer and mastery as an instrumentalist—perpetually pushing the boundaries of his Baroque-Ethnic-Metal fusion: on both the classical and electric guitar.

This unbelievably talented musician has to be seen to be believed and appreciated. For a sneak peek of his performance, visit gladiusmusic.com
