Beltane Waning Planting Moon
A quick grocery run. I do two kind of trips to the grocery store. One is an urgent care run which picks up items which we need NOW. The other is a more leisurely and comprehensive trip designed to get food for specific recipes, stock up on things like milk, cereal, vegetables and fruit. This was an urgent care trip.
All the while I’m listening to lecture 72 out of an 84 lecture course on Great Minds of the Western Tradition. This is all ground I’ve covered before, but this course presents it from a different angle. Today the lecture was about structuralism, a vastly influential thought system that originated in the work of a pioneering linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure, and received elaboration from a name more familiar to me, Claude Levi Strauss, an anthropologist.
At 1 pm we have a tour honoring Michele Yates, our departing buddy from docent class 2005. It’s also an event for the docent discussion group.
