The docent luncheon today.\u00a0 It is always an event where mediocre food meets a droner of a program.\u00a0 I’s only salvation lies in the persons seated near you.\u00a0 This is like the platoon in the army.\u00a0 You wouldn’t go into the trenches for the colonel (Debbie or Sheila), but for your buddies, the folks seated near you, you will endure the whole as if it were something you really wanted to do.\u00a0 The food this time was Asian, a plus in my opinion, but in name only.\u00a0 We also had the awarding of various things for various levels of service.\u00a0 One woman, Sally Lehman had been a docent for 45 years.\u00a0 That’s a long time.\u00a0 Even my class got pins for our 5 years of service beginning in 2005.\u00a0 It’s gold and I have it on the bookshelf beside me.\u00a0 Beside the five-year pin from the Collection in Focus program.\u00a0 It’s silver.\u00a0 Shows ya.<\/p>\n
After the luncheon I wandered through the museum and found Embarrassment of Riches under installation.\u00a0 This is a new photo collection documenting the global expansion and concentration of wealth that has characterized the last 30 years. It looks like it will be a stunner.\u00a0 The lecture and walk through are next week.<\/p>\n
The continuing ed featured the Decorative Arts curator who I found funny and detailed in his knowledge.\u00a0 He showed a wonderful silver cup that the museum purchased by a Strasbourg silversmith named Baer.\u00a0 It is his masterpiece, that is, the piece he used to gain admission to the guild of silversmiths in the Silver City.\u00a0 It is a tour de force of detail and skill, called the most important work in silver of the 20th century to come out of Strasbourg.\u00a0 Worth a look.<\/p>\n
Home for a nap.<\/p>\n
The out to UTS for an evening in the field education class.\u00a0 I have responsibility for an intern this year for Groveland UU.\u00a0 A disappointing evening.\u00a0 The talk the talk the talk, a long line of talk.\u00a0 No wonder lay people get weary of the clergy.\u00a0 The stuff is fuzzy, emotive and allusive–religious.\u00a0 I’ve changed since I was in the Seminary in the early 70s.\u00a0 A lot.<\/p>\n
I now find most of the process tedious, though I look forward to working with Leslie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
