Columbine
Working
I’ve been spending my mini-staycation trying to get some collage work done. I have not been very productive, but I haven’t been totally useless, either. It’s just slow going.
Somewhere in there I got distracted reading Euripides. I don’t even know how that happens?! So the little series I’ve been working on all have text taken from him, mostly from Iphigenia in Aulis. If you’ve never read it, I recommend at least looking at Clytemnestra’s bits about her abduction by Agamemnon and on evilness of war. Beautiful and heart-breaking.

Asbestos Abatement
At least I assume they’re removing asbestos. The entire center of the lobby is enclosed in a double wall of plastic. Charming, isn’t it.
One lane of traffic. I was tempted to turn around and go back home.

Locust Tree Blossoms
Locust Tree Blossoms
As I walked across campus this afternoon, I kept catching hints of some flower on the breeze. I finally realized it was coming from the trees. And the funny thing is that I had the same experience a few years ago, at a nearby cemetery. There was something in bloom that smelled amazing, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. I finally tracked it down to a locust tree growing behind the church.
Lunch
We had an all-day in-house conference at work today. Aside from the miniature books at the Lilly, it was grim. It started at 8am with coffee but NO breakfasty food whatsoever. Not even a damn granola bar.
We got lunch. Vinegary artichoke heart veggie wrap and some kind of gooey pasta with gooey sauce. It was all kinds of awful. Well, except that lunch was long enough that I had a chance to visit the cemetery by the student union. That part was nice.
(The apple was really good! And the brownie was okay. So many carbs, though.)
