Eric and Tess: best friends, librarians, lovers of stuff, learners of lessons, back again with another episode that is jam-packed with philosophical musings.

The inspirational quote for this episode is from Toni Morrison (maybe you’ve heard of her).

Tess’s loves for this episode are the Fredericksburg Tacos & Beer Festival, and the podcast “May I Elaborate? Daily Wisdom from JB Smoove.”

Eric’s loves for this episode are repeats: rock climbing at Sportrock, and joining “The 5AM Club.”

For this episode’s cake challenge we discuss the song “Einaudi: Kyril” by Whitetree on the album “Cloudland.” In the next episode we will discuss the music of Pink Floyd.

This episode’s life lesson: We’re not here to tell you what to do. BUT if you want a dog to swallow a pill, you gotta cover it in peanut butter, and if you want someone to open their mind to a new or different idea, you gotta appeal to their values.
