  • Listening to Tuva overtone music

    We had the pleasure of learning a little about Tuvan overtone music (throat music) today. Was showing H.o.p. a little video on different types of music, the what of music place to place, and they focused some on Tuvan throat singers. So we’ve been listening to a few files online and now I’m watching this…

  • Testimony of the Sonderkommando

    This will be perhaps the toughest book I’ve ever read and hope I am ever likely to read. By way of the internet, I came upon Gideon Grief’s “We Wept Without Tears; Testimonies of the Jewish Sonderkommando from Auschwitz”. How I came upon it was first I had read a NY Times story of Dina…

  • oh, the world, y'know, it's just so complex…

  • Acting class = we are popcorn = great fun

    Amazing to me that in a city this size, its main staple theater draws only about 10 children for a 3rd to 5th grade acting class. Millions of people and out of that pool only 10 kids for its Fall class? Well, this time H.o.p. is one of them. Big time fun. He had a…

  • Pretty good memorizing and drawing of skulls

    Smithsonian can be a great place to visit online with H.o.p., so Friday after a difficult time with math we went to Campfire Stores with George Catlin. H.o.p. liked Peter Matthiesson’s introduction and wanted to listen to it several times, and at his request we listened several times to Peter Nabakov talking about Sacred Geography…
