3/31: cat comfort

Yesterday wasn't an easy day, and the cats cheered me in the evening by playing a bit and then sleeping next to me.  When I woke up this morning their comforting continued, and I'm so grateful for it.

3/30: thinking about greek tragedy

...to prepare for class tomorrow.  It feels a little strange to write of tragedy as a good thing, but perhaps when it's on the page (or stage) and not in other parts of life, it is a good thing to meditate on.

3/29: new-ish translation

Joel Agee's translation of Prometheus Bound came out last spring, and I was glad to use it in my myth class today.  What a play!

3/28: two sides of the coin

It was good to visit Chris in New Mexico, and it's good to be back home.

3/27: petroglyphs

We saw so, so many petroglyphs on an early evening walk!

3/26: kasha-katuwe tent rocks

We visited this national monument today and hiked/climbed from the base to the top.

3/25: a full day

Looking at petroglyphs in the morning.

Trying some donuts from Rebel Donuts (perhaps the best donuts I've ever had).

Flying, with Chris piloting, in the afternoon.

Buying some food at Trader Joe's, a store we miss from our days in Los Angeles.

And walking along the Rio Grande in near sunset.

(A view of Mesa Redonda from the flight with Chris:)

3/24: santa fe and sandia peak

I'm in New Mexico with Chris, and we spent most of the day in Santa Fe. 

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum ended up being anti-climactic/off-putting, but I was glad to see her painting of Mount Fuji (which I hadn't known about before).  The let-down of that museum was off-set by the pleasures of the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts.

And in the late afternoon we took the Sandia Peak tramway and looked out over Albuquerque.
