Ducks Never Waver Lunch Break

We have decreed it summer over here and that means only 1 thing: Summer Reading!

What makes summer reading different? What should you read? This and more is discussed in todays lunchbreak.

"Freddy the Cowboy" to Boethius. Bradbury to Waugh. Get "Lost in the Cosmos" or stay at "Blanding's Castle".

American painter of the 20-21st century, Andrew Wyeth is today's topic of discussion. Through realism his painting will hold you in a surreal, dreamlike trance. Son of famous artist and illustrator N.C Wyeth, Edwin and Megan come up with the book that Andrew Wyeth should have illustrated.

Van Eyck, Hopper, Bruegel the Elder, and many more influenced this remarkable painter.

A strong sense of place, past, and perspective makes Andrew Wyeth a painter that we will be going back to time and time again.

Did Edwin complete his crochet challenge? What lessons did he learn? Will he continue down the crochet path? Will severe punishment for failure be carried out? These and many more of life's inquiries will be answered.

Not to be outdone, Megan has insisted on a challenge in its own right. Something to do with building and extreme danger.

A Peter Pan movie remake and video games are also on the menu in this exciting episode of the "Ducks Never Waver Lunch Break".

This week Edwin goes rogue and takes over the show.

What will he talk about? Will this show be any good? Let's find out as poetry, Fibro, and lifeguarding walk into a bar and make a podcast.

"For man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion". This is the one wherefore we conclude our conclusions on Culture Care. They are not final conclusions, one could say the conclusion concludes a beginning of conclusions. Or was that confusions? Are the conclusions conniving to conspire collusion? Either way, we hope you have enjoyed our littles series on a helpful and inspiring book.

Edwin and Megan continue their discussion on Makoto Fujimura's book "Culture Care". Are artists outsiders or inside out? Is this a good thing for society or are we living in a cataclysmic apocalyptic world without knowing it? Where can we grow a strong culture? In the cheese shop, of course! Does thanking people suck you into the vortex of endless thanking for thanks or does thankfulness have inherent regenerative momentum? This and many more questions are explored.

Megan and Edwin discuss Makoto Fujimura's book "Culture Care". Moments of rebirth, the limitations of "experts", and Megan's failed interview are discussed.

Megan talks about all things yarn, fiber art, and crochet. She also throws down the crochet gauntlet: challenging Edwin to complete a crochet project, which is something historians have yet to record. Whether wool, cotton, or acrylic Megan will answer all questions, the ones you wanted answered and the ones you didn't!

Edwin interviews Megan on life with chronic pain. You'll hear Megan talk about life with Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, and recurring Epstein-Barr virus (mono). Megan talks about how books like "Cancer Ward" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and movies like Kenneth Branagh's "Much Ado About Nothing" by W. Shakespeare help her to cope with chronic illness.

Edwin and Megan discuss the good side of pain and how it can be a sign of growth.
