This Week:

We held our last Crafternoons of the summer. Thanks to everyone who came out!
We took down “With That Shadow Over Them: Constructing Catskill Reservoirs, Remembering Home”. This was a great exhibit, full of complex ideas and interesting stories, and I’m proud we could show it. The printed photos will be visiting other local institutions, so keep your eyes out!
I finally finished writing my notes about M. John Harrison’s “Wish I was here”. Turns out, I had a lot to say!
Alanna and I watched “The Heat”, which reminded me that Sandra Bullock is a criminally under-rated comedic actor.
Sunday morning, we took our daughter to brunch at Origins in Cooperstown. It was…fine? The setting is great, but the food was kind of boring.
I listened to an audiobook of Seanan McGuire’s “Every Heart a Doorway” which I pretty much hated. And I read “King of Nowhere” which was okay, but nothing really exceptional.
I don’t know why it took me so long, but I finally bought Yo La Tengo’s “I can Hear the Heart Beating as One." I’ve already listened to it all the way through multiple times, and I’m looking forward to immersing myself in it many more times.
