I have a long flight to Tel Aviv this weekend (and of course the return flight a week later) so I need to load up my iPad with content to pass the time. On a flight back from Europe the other day, Ellen and I leaned back and watched the first season of Broadchurch on …

Why I Write

Music in The Home from Amazon and Apple Might Just Be Getting Started …Again
