Hi Neighbor!
Approximately one year ago to date, I wrote my first article for Main Line Neighbors. Since it coincided with my birthday, I wrote about “Beating the Winter Birthday Blues” or something to that effect. Fast forward a year, I thought I would gingerly broach the topic again because not only will I be a year older this time around, but I will be a decade older as well.

Two Beauties Looking for Loving Homes
Handsome, intelligent German Shepherd Jack has it all! He's house trained, knows basic commands, has the most compelling eyes but isn't fond of cats. Jack would thrive with a fenced yard of his own but he'd also do well with an owner willing to leash train for walks with his devoted, muscular companion.

Westie Poodle mix Nala is the prettiest little girl who is affectionate and intelligent. She's house trained and would do best as the only object of your affection. She requires a home with older children and needs to have her distinctive cream-color coat brushed daily as it grows back.

Set in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer (the charismatic Timur) faces down demons of his own making. Forced to confront the darkest moment in his life, he mines fractured and repressed memories for a way out. A woman (Jennifer Harrison Newman) is at the center of all the writer’s afterlife encounters. She is the subject of his life’s greatest regret, and she materializes everywhere in this Otherworld. The writer cannot detach any thoughts of his life from her.
The feature film is accompanied by Opera Philadelphia’s 2021 short film We Need to Talk from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw and director Maureen Towey, starring soprano Ariadne Greif.
