Bring an appetite for sizzling drama as we discuss New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston's latest romantic comedy, The Pairing. When two bisexual exes accidentally book the same European food and wine tour, they challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they're over each otherâexcept they're definitely not. Theo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends, crushes, in love, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour, they exited each other's lives once and for all. Time apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit, who never returned to America, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris. Sure, nothing really compares to what they had, and life stretches out long and lonely ahead of them, butâyeah. It's in the past. All that remains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened, good for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years later, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separately. It's not until they board the tour bus that they discover they've both accidentally had the exact same idea, and now they're trapped with each other for three weeks of stunning views, luscious flavors, and the most romantic cities of France, Spain, and Italy. It's fine. There's nothing left between them. So much nothing that, when Theo suggests a friendly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first, Kit is totally game. And why stop there? Why not a full-on European hookup competition? But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can't have.

Learn how to master the daily grind and become shatterproof in a tumultuous world with key insights by Dr. Tasha Eurich as she talks about her newest book, Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (And why resilience alone isnât enough). Are you working too much but feel like itâs never enough? Have you turned the act of pretending youâre âfineâ into an art form? Does self-care feel like one more item on your already long to-do list? Weâve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating lifeâs most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author, organizational psychologist, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isnât an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty weâre experiencing today. Whether youâre grappling with work stress, personal challenges, or the chaos of everyday life, Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative to stoic endurance as the only strategy for survival. Combining cutting-edge research, practical tools, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better, do better, and live better than before. Youâll discover how to: Reclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize Uncover the unmet needs that keep you stuck in self-limiting patterns Turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and confusion into confidence Find peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds, and much more! This timely discussion with Dr. Eurich is sure to unlock powerful new ideas about how to show up as our best selves. Register now to be a part of the conversation!

This exhibit represents sixty years of Miltonâs work in both painting and sculpture. He lived in New Yorkâs Hudson Valley where he was Professor of English at Marist College and moved to Cape Cod in 1999 where he operated the Teichman Gallery in the town of Brewster. The gallery became a center for cultural events in the atmosphere of artwork reflecting the influence of Modernism from Picasso to Henry Moore. Teichman said of his own work: âBoth my painting and sculpture show my close attention to the dialogue between form and spaceâa dialogue that challenges and intrigues me. My work tends to be celebratory in mood. It is an experience for the eye that can delight and move the emotions.â Always a teacher, he loved the Hasidic wisdom: âI found light locked in a closet, all I did was open the door.â If you have questions, call Sharon Leder at 914-204-4487. https://brewsterladieslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/take-down-the-art-of-milton-teichman/
