It’s been a long, long dry spell.\u00a0 We’ve had no appreciable rain or snow since ()\u00a0 and the garden has begun to show it.\u00a0 The daffodils have come up a bit stunted, many still in the ground would have popped long ago if they had the moisture.\u00a0 Our irrigation system doesn’t start up until late April.\u00a0 I may give’em a call and see if we can move it up, but that means I have to fix the netaphim Rigel and Vega chewed up at the end of last growing season.\u00a0 Gotta be done anyhow.<\/p>\n
Until Now has me cranked up into steep learning curve mode.\u00a0 I’ve had the first two lectures, another one comes up next week as do walk-throughs for Art Remix and Until Now.\u00a0 Before then I have to get my head into the new artists and the new art, read a good bit.\u00a0 Look at the art.\u00a0 Read some more.\u00a0 Write a little. Peck a little.\u00a0 This should be fun, a new universe of art and artists to explore, many of them working with enlightenment ideas, especially the idea of the modern and the so-called post-modern.<\/p>\n
That’s another rabbit hole I’m going to drop into again.\u00a0 Post-modernism.\u00a0 I started getting into when I did my D. Min. thesis back in 1990.\u00a0 Since then, I’ve read a good deal about post-modernism.\u00a0 The content of the term still eludes me.\u00a0 Perversely, it has made me very interested in modernism.\u00a0 That happened because I decided I needed to understand modernism to understand what folks claim about post-modernism.\u00a0 Seems logical, but I’ve begun to suspect that post-modernism is camouflage for other ideas, especially an assault on the nature of truth claims.\u00a0 Bet you can’t wait to find out what I learn.<\/p>\n
Into the MIA today for two tours, both highlights.\u00a0 I did a highlights collection of things I already know well because this was a busy week for me.\u00a0 Besides, I’m putting my energy now into the Until Now\/Art Remix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
