This Week:

We spent quite a bit of time watching World Cup matches. The England/Croatia game was pretty great, as was the Netherlands/Japan game. Dominic is older (and also a school soccer player himself!) and it’s been fun to watch these games with him and Alanna together.
On Tuesday, we welcomed a visit from Valleyview Elementary school to the Museum. I know a bunch of the kids in this class so it was fun to have them in the Museum and show them around.
I submitted a grant request for funds to bring an indigenous craftsman and regalia maker to Hartwick.
We did some work getting things ready for next week’s “half day fun” event at the Museum.
I did some more repatriation work, finalizing our response to a claim we’ve received.
Good Things:
- I discovered that I had been awarded a few extra dollars in the Facebook settlement. I spent the money on Bandcamp, buying albums by The Stairs, Thou, and The Drin
- This was my last week as an assistant soccer coach for Hazel’s team (it was also her last week playing soccer). It was an enjoyable season, and I am greatful to the other coaches for such a positive experience.
