Dangerous driving conditions tomorrow. Winter storm warning.\u00a0 Who stole my spring?<\/p>\n
Into the city twice today, once to get my teeth cleaned and a second time for a Sierra Club meeting on legislative basics.\u00a0 The teeth cleaning, an every 6 months visit, has become routine by now.\u00a0 Mary, the dental hygienist I saw today, complimented on my teeth-brushing.\u00a0 That feels a bit to me like being told, good boy, you cleaned your plate.\u00a0 Mary has a gentle way with her and worked hard to convince me to take extra good care of my teeth.\u00a0 It’s important for overall health, especially as we age.<\/p>\n
On both trips listened to another lecture series, this one on Western Civilization, part II.\u00a0 It focuses on the 500+ years in which modernism arose.\u00a0 This is ground I’ve been over from several perspectives over the years, but each time it gets a bit clearer and the puzzle pieces seem to fit together better.\u00a0 Modernism and the Enlightenment are key to understanding our current political, cultural, social and economic conditions, so it’s hard to become over educated about them.\u00a0 What I enjoy now is finding connections between, say, Chinese history and Western.<\/p>\n
I’m on lecture 9 already.\u00a0 Just finished the Reformation, ground I know pretty well, but it never hurts to hear it put in the larger socio-political context.<\/p>\n
The economic and environmental situation we find ourselves in now can be traced back to this period, both the good and the bad.\u00a0 More later.\u00a0 I’m tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
