Weeknotes: 3/12/23-3/18/23

This Week:

• was sort of drifting, and strange. My wife left for a research trip and I’m holding the house down while she’s gone (with the help of my folks–thanks Mom and Dad!) To quote my son, “I’m sad she’s gone, and I’m happy she’s doing something exciting.”
• In MUST204, I talked about the history of collections management, and how to label objects in Museum collections.
• I helped some students with rec letters.
• I continued some collaborative collections research.
• I kept hammering away on a revamp of our Indigenous exhibit.
• Last week, I read Brian Evenson’s wonderful short story collection “A Collapse of Horses”, which is ostensibly horror, but with much of the horror taking place off-stage–my favorite! I also read Susanna Clarke’s wonderful “Piranesi” which is weird and beautiful.
