This Week:

I worked on trying to finalize the paperwork for an up-coming Indigenous social dance in Oneonta. It’s happening, but man, it’s been a lot of work.
In MUST205, we talked about how to conceptualize and plan cases and displays, and de-installed one of the two cases the students will be using for their final project displays.
We welcomed a group of middle and high school students from Stamford, NY to the Museum for a brief but fun tour.
I finished reading Brian Evenson’s “The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell”, another in a long line of creepy, subtle horror collections. Perfect timing for spooky season!
Good Things:
- I rediscovered what a great Fall record The Books “Lemon of Pink” was, and played it quite a lot, as the leaves grew golden and crimson outside my window.
- We spent a long weekend popping around coastal New England, a now-annual beloved tradition for us. We stayed in Hampton Beach, paid visits to Gloucester and Rockport, and popped up to Maine to see the Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve. We also stopped into Portsmouth and attended the No Kings protest. We drove back through Southern Vermont and New Hampshire, so as to avoid being anywhere near Salem in October.
