Music of the Week
Florence and the Machine is an indie Rock band hailing from London led by vocalist Florence Welch, keyboardist Isabella Summers, guitarist Rob Ackroyd, drummer Christopher Lloyd Hayden, and harpist Tom Monger. The bend blends the music genres of rock, pop, soul, and folk into a glorious combination. Some of my favorite songs include Dog Days of Summer, You’ve Got the Love, and Florida!!!

Book of the Week
Poor Richard’s Almanack by Benjamin Franklin is a thought-provoking book covering Franklin’s insights from more than 200 years ago. The book is stocked with insightful quotes offering life advice on topics like money, relationships, ethics, psychology, and human nature. I would love to have been a close friend of Franklin back in his day. It is hard not to see the similarities between this book and two of my other favorite books The Tao of Warren Buffett and Tao of Charlie Munger.
