White knight, white flower
Tuesday, 22 March 2011
There are some days I feel like I’m spinning my wheels, and, sure enough, I have a hard time putting my finger on what I got done.
Today I met a somewhat higher standard, but not a particularly rigorous one. I did track down a few dust bunnies (maybe more like dust-ponies), and I did venture out for some groceries, and, um—see what I mean?
I did find a super-helpful 2010 article by Tina Thurston that helped me understand the Bronze Age in Italy and Europe; she combines archaeological data and archaeological theory, rather than being cowed by the writings of the ancients…. Yippee!
