This week:

We held our second “Crafternoons” at the Yager Museum. This week’s theme was ‘Gardens’ and we had planters for kids to decorate and take home.
Hazel and I read “Muggie Maggie”, a short book by Beverly Cleary that really fell flat for both of us.
Alanna and I watched “Janeane Garofalo: If I May”, her stand-up special from 2016. It was more clever than funny, but her stream of consciousness approach meant that it was always engaging.
Alanna and I also re-watched “District B13”, an astonishing french action film full of amazing parkour set-pieces. We watched it over a decade ago, but my shoddy memory made it a whole new experience!
Last Saturday, we took the kids to “Kidstock” at the West Kortright Centre. It was a fun, communal event and we all had a great time.
The Museum also welcomed Evan Jagels and Wyatt Ambrose for a program of improvisational music derived from and in coversation with our exhibits.
I did some administrative work on adding some new objects to our collection. It’s very cool stuff that I can’t wait to put on display.
With a lot of help from the Minister of Intrigue, I shifted the workflow of this website into incorporating a Github repository. This will make adding and editing posts a little easier so expect more from me than just the occasional weeknotes!
