A day almost gone in the New Year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kate and I now have a weekly Skype call with Jon and Jen and Ruth+.\u00a0 + being the one who comes.\u00a0 This is weird because it means we have a video phone call, our picture and voice shows up there and their picture and voice shows up here, all in real time…well, almost real time.\u00a0 Ruth says, “All Right.”\u00a0 “Ma.” (grandma)\u00a0 No. (snow) Bye. and so on.\u00a0 All delightful and all wonderful, as if done for the very first time ever in the history of child development.\u00a0 She’s a cutie, a blond Jewish Norwegian who lives in Colorado.\u00a0 The mixing pot stirs on.<\/p>\n
Worked out, watched a Japanese movie and an Arctic Tale and the Descent.\u00a0 Three movies.\u00a0 A holiday.\u00a0 All pretty different.\u00a0 Samurai and Shogun, sword and kimono.\u00a0 A poignant tale of Arctic babies:\u00a0 a walrus and\u00a0two polar bears affected by the warming of the Arctic Ocean.\u00a0 The Descent is a horror movie and a good one.\u00a0 It left me squirming and wincing.\u00a0\u00a0 Made by the director of Dog Soldiers.<\/p>\n
The morning I spent exegeting, then interpreting Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.\u00a0 What a tale.\u00a0 Important for our time, yet hundreds of years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Happy New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
