Finally.\u00a0 One chunk of the Metamorphosis finished in a literal (sort 0f) version.\u00a0 That’s Book III:138-250.\u00a0 My learning curve has been steep, sometimes so much so that I thought I might tip over backwards, but I seem to have reached a point where moving forward goes faster now and the hill no longer looks quite so daunting.\u00a0 The next step is to take it apart and put it back together in idiomatic English, then compare it to other translations, see what insights that adds.\u00a0 As a guy who thought the world of language had invalidated his passport years ago, I’m pleasantly surprised and pleased with myself.\u00a0 It means a lot to do something at 64 that I’ve spent a lifetime imagining I couldn’t.<\/p>\n
After that I drove into Little Sezchuan and had lunch with Justin and Margaret, the Sierra Club’s lobbyist and Executive Director.\u00a0\u00a0 We discussed evaluating our legislative work this year, wrapping things up and getting ourselves squared away for the 2011-2012 session.\u00a0 This has been a difficult year and it’s not over.<\/p>\n
Came home, ready for my nap.\u00a0 But.\u00a0 Vega lay in the kitchen, scrunched up in pain and bloodied from some kind of a fight.\u00a0 No clue what happened, but we first examined her, then took her over to the vet who sewed her up, gave her antibiotics and pain pills and we brought her home.\u00a0 She’s resting now, but the vet says she be very sore tomorrow.\u00a0 She’s such a sweety, she just let them work on her.<\/p>\n
Now, I’m sleepy, but can’t get my nap because it would interfere with going to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
