This week:

I’ve been scrambling to finish installing two exhibits: “The Study of One Thing” and “Memorializing the Underground Railroad”. This week, we had a visit from Sensei Hojin’s assistant, who brought a few more pieces for the exhibit, and looked things over. We also got some of the final text materials printed. For “Memorializing…” I’ve been getting all the books positioned, and I’ve sent off the title for printing. The labels should go up today.
I finished reading Cassandra Khaw’s short ghost novella “Nothing bu Blackened Teeth”. I like Khaw’s prose (and loved her surrealist fantasy novel “The Salt Grows Heavy”), but this story was kind of thin gruel; a Japanese haunted house is taken over by a group of friends for a wedding, and the tensions in their relationships are exploded by the supernatural. It was fine, but didn’t grab me the way “Salt…” did.
Last bandcamp friday, I bought Will Oldham’s “Sings Greatest Palace Music” and Stuffed Spider’s “Secret Speech”.
In MUST205, we talked about methods of mounting and displaying 3d objects.
I did some work on an upcoming event for Native American Heritage month. More to come.
I booked our hotel for our now-annual visit to coastal New England.
