ARTelevision

This journal thread is here for those who prefer linear relationships. I figure if linear sequencing is good enough for DNA, it’s good enough for me…

I feel some need to write down my thoughts, observations, ruminations on experience, and so forth. I’ll do that here until the ol’ journals make their reappearance. I invite anyone else who desires so to do the same. Folks who care to can find their way through these entries easily enough, I think.

We3 were enthralled by the Olympics – as we are every two years. After a few days of vicarious participation in these noble events, the world changes. Especially the world as perceived via media. Television became, for once, a medium of global communication – well a medium of significant human communication and participation. I’ve often said the best we can do for each other is to inspire one another. This was our experience of the Olympics – an inspiration from start to finish.

Then, the Rebublican convention came around. It was a bit of a comedown from the lofty Olympian heights, but it was worth it all for me to grab Arnold’s top-notch speech on videotape. I’ll watch it more than once. He’s a real good man.

Our house painting proceeds, albeit more slowly now. We’re back to overtime and homework. I’m teaching a class – an art appreciation class at the university level and as I haven’t done that for 5 years, there’s a ton of preparation – translating my knowledge, notes, and lectures to PowerPoint presentations, etc. We’re about 60% done with painting the house. The tough parts above the first roofline remain – dormers, second floor rooms, etc.

We sit out gazing at our pastoral and wooded 14 acres as it moves from late summer toward early fall. Life is as good, great, excellent, as it ever was and ever could be!
