1/22: forgetting

...that work was work.  I'm not supposed to work on Saturdays (according to my own rules), but today I did.  I'm assigning an ekphrasis project of sorts in my mythology class, and since it's a somewhat unusual assignment, I wanted to give the students an example of it.  As I was getting ready this morning, I had an idea for a hypothetical painting based on the Homeric Hymn to Dionysos, and this afternoon I wrote it up.  It's nothing grand (it's not supposed to be a big project), but I had fun doing it, and I hope the students will have fun describing their own hypothetical paintings too.
