      <image:title>Episodes - The Unexpected Author:&amp;nbsp; How youthful adventures caught a publisher’s eye and turned a banker into a writer, with Graham Broyd</image:title>
      <image:caption>Graham Broyd thought he’d write down the stories of his adventures as a 20-year-old from the UK hitchhiking across the United States, stories he’d been telling friends for decades.  Through a series of improbable events, Forbes publishing discovered him, and the result is Graham’s forthcoming book, "Backpack Jacket Surfboard." We talk about Graham’s experience working with the Forbes editorial team, Graham also compares his experience self publishing his book on the Panama Canal treaties to the more comprehensive and professional approach taken by Forbes for his hitchhiking memoir.  He also discusses the potential challenges of marketing and distribution, as the success of the book will depend on him engaging with audiences in traditional in-person appearances.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What art history can teach us, Part II</image:title>
      <image:caption>The ancient Egyptians’ world seemed unchanging for centuries.  As Deborah Pilla, a docent with the MET who gives tours through the museum’s Ancient Egypt galleries, tells her visitors, the Egyptians were completely focused on the afterlife.  They probably thought their world and their monumental temples would stand forever.  Deborah, who completed the MET’s rigorous docent program after a 33-year career as a dentist, spoke to me from her home, where she had hanging on her wall a 19th century print of the ruins of the great temple of Karnak at Thebes by Scottish painter David Roberts.  These massive columns provoke wonder at the civilization that built it.  And, in their ruins, they perhaps whisper astonishment that they could ever fall, or perhaps tell us a lesson that if these could fall, anything can.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What art history can teach us, or:&amp;nbsp; the sad ending of M. Lavoisier - If nothing else, the exhibits at the MET in New York City allow us to reflect on humanity’s long and winding road over thousands of years. In my conversation with retired dentist Deborah Pilla, we learn about her deep dive into art history in her journey to become a volunteer docent at the MET. One of her favorite paintings is of this couple, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier and Marie Anne Lavoisier (1788) by Jacques Louis David, considered one of the great neoclassical portraits.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Lavoisier was one of the fathers of modern chemistry, as shown by the equipment on his desk, and his accomplished wife worked with him, keeping his experiment log books.  They were also members of the French aristocracy, however, and just six years after this was painted, M. Lavoisier was guillotined. But in the portrait, the couple, shown a year before the French Revolution, look happy and prosperous.  Could they have foreseen how their lives would change?  Hint:  There is more to this work than meets the eye:  read the MET’s description here: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436106 .</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Late Bloomer Frank McCourt and the Creation of “Angela’s Ashes”</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you think you’re too old to write a book, perhaps a memoir, you might want to look at the case of Frank McCourt, who wrote the blockbuster Angela’s Ashes after his retirement as English teacher in the New York City public schools.  He was 66 when it was published in 1996 to widespread acclaim, winning a Pulitzer Prize.   Now, granted, we haven’t all experienced McCourt’s impoverished childhood, circumstances that, in his telling, were positively Dickensian, or have his well-honed Irish sense of humor.  Still, he did not believe his memoir would amount to much.  As he told New York times reporter Robert Sullivan shortly after its publication,</image:caption>
