Weeknotes: 12/29/24-1/4/25

This Week:

• We tried to drink as deeply as possible from the cup of the holiday, going to a few New Year’s parties, taking part in “First Hike” at Gilbert Lake, playing games, and reading books.
• We finished watching Normal People, which was a rich and engaging ode to young love, but was dramatically amplified by Paul Mescal’s astonishing performance. Neither of us liked the ending, which didn’t feel true to the characters, but Alanna says that, no surprise, the book is better.
• We also watched a couple of movies, including “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” and “Sonic 3”, both of which were delightful and fun popcorn movies.
• At the Museum I mostly caught up on emails and started getting things ready for the Spring, including course prep, exhibit de-installation, and program planning.
