Samhain Waxing Wolf Moon
Long day at the museum. Two tours, 2 hours apart. Just got home. Today was just ok. Nothing amazing, just solid trooping through the masterpieces and their attendant objects.
It was good to see fellow docents, chat. Other docents are mentors, but not me. I imagine the museum did not want me representing the docent corps to junior docents. Wise choice from their perspective.
Tired.

Yesterday was politics. Today is the Louvre. I was a late addition to the Louvre exhibition touring list and the training is today. This exhibition focuses on the question of the masterpiece. It includes a Vermeer, amazing when you consider there are only 36 Vermeer’s in the world. 9 of them are in New York City on Museum row and the rest in Europe.
We had a hard frost last night with several hours below 28 degrees. That pretty much knocks out blooms and most plants.
The longer hours yesterday in the city made me a bit weary, so I’m heading in today with less than a clear head. We’ll see about the learning capacity when I get there.

Another dull gray day as my Aunt Roberta used to say. The morning so far has been doing work for the Sierra Club, organizing issue briefs and selection criteria, moving our process along. That’s done now.
Today I’m going in to the MIA for some interesting education about photographs. I’ll also pick up my Louvre catalog. Yes, at the last minute I got added to the list of docents touring this show that focuses on the concept of masterpiece.
Need to feed the dogs and get a nap in before the drive into the MIA. Later.
