This evening I left home and journeyed to North East for the opening of the show.\u00a0 It is no longer my habit to leave home much in the evening except for meetings like the Sierra Club or the Woollies.<\/p>\n
I felt excited, a bit apprehensive.\u00a0 After all, our judgments had a role in the evening.<\/p>\n
By the time I got there, about 7:50 or 8:00, there was still a large crowd.\u00a0 A friend from docent training, David Fortney, came up and asked me about our selections.\u00a0 He had his own.\u00a0 As did everyone in the room.<\/p>\n
At some point I began to feel uncomfortable.\u00a0 It was a little difficult to track down where the feelings were coming from, but finally I pinpointed it.\u00a0 I was there as a judge, an arbiter and I didn’t like the role.\u00a0 I could explain our selections, how we got to them, but the role put me in a place in position to the room that felt icky.<\/p>\n
I’m glad we judged the show.\u00a0 I’m glad we made our decisions yesterday.<\/p>\n
Would I do it again?\u00a0 Not without preparation and thought.\u00a0 But, yes, I probably would.<\/p>\n
Kate’s neck continues to bother her, though I hope some of that will lift tomorrow as the dye diffuses and the pressure from the myelogram recedes.<\/p>\n
This is the end of a long series of diverse activity.\u00a0 That’s what I like, different work that requires different skills with different people.\u00a0 The downside is that when too much comes close together it can tax me.\u00a0 I’m glad to be on this side of it all right now.<\/p>\n
May head over to the Walker tomorrow.\u00a0 I haven’t been there in awhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
