Samhain                                                           Moon of the Winter Solstice

A chilly start here.  15 degrees.  We may have some more snow–or cold rain–tomorrow.  Rain?  The week before the Winter Solstice.  Insult.

Two more TCW tours today.  5th graders.

(Carvaggio.  see the Cindy Sherman version below.)

Out of the 50,000 who started the MOOC (massive open online course) on Greek and Roman Mythology, 2,500 of us finished all the requirements.  Of that number 2,200 received a certificate with distinction.  Not exactly a shiny new degree but anything with distinction feels nice.

Kate and I are well into the Hanukkah spirit, lighting the candles, reading the liturgy, having latkes and brisket.
