Join Alice to discuss the impact of current events and cultural trends on our daily lives. Discussions of current topics ranging from what's going on in schools, to the internet and our privacy, to fashion, to scientific breakthroughs in Israel, to how what's going on in China affects us. News items are interspersed with travelogues from trips taken around the world.

Formerly a corporate attorney building and financing major pipelines, storage terminals, and power plants, and negotiating derivatives documentation, Alice now takes history classes through Northwestern University and Florence Melton, practices tai chi, plays mahjong, and indulges in an addictive travel habit. She has visited and photographed places on all seven continents (yes, including Antarctica). Alice also avidly follows the Chicago sports teams and thoroughbred horse racing.
