Patience and Fortitude: Update and Shifting Blogging Priorities

Emily — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:38:09 +0000

I’ve been busy- so busy that I will be starting a new job again this summer. My new employer has active blogs and social media and I hope to shift my professional library and public service blogging to their substantial and well-respected sites. My personal essays on other cultural subjects will find a home at museumclubnyc.com as soon as I have time. Thank you all for following my adventures here at Fly Into The Mystery- it has been a wonderful creative outlet for experimenting with literary and professional voices and staying connected to far flung friends. Please stay in touch, faithful readers, I am thinking of you.

Trade School NYC

Emily — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:17:03 +0000

I signed up for a bartered class on understanding perfume and having confidence in your opinions at a temporary classroom space in Manhattan. The group that runs Trade School has been presenting events and classes at a variety of city museums and cultural organizations. Among other things, the group is trying to create “economic practices that reinforce values of mutualism, cooperation, social justice, democracy, and ecological sustainability.” Unlike the library model, (free and open to anyone) participants must bring something to barter in payment for the class, and different things are requested by each instructor. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Treewatching

Treewatching is better than birdwatching for the following reasons:

The trees don’t hide. They are more than likely to be where you left them the previous day.
I can bring my dog.

Back to Spectacle Island

Emily — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:22:42 +0000

Too cold to swim. Shirley and I did archaeology instead. This island is a big trashheap that has been turned into a lovely park in the harbor. Eva, a fellow Heathen, is the boss and was out there observing different programs. It’s wonderful. but something tells me we won’t have an easy time making a scenic park out of all our plastic trash that is currently floating in the ocean…
