Don't we love the rivalry. It makes our world go 'round. At least this year I can gloat with YOU over the MSU game vs. GA. We don't need to discuss a thing about UofM this year.

There's supposed to be some flurries today, but big snows up at the ski resorts. I'm hoping there's not too much today, as there's a play tonight, concert tomorrow, Carol's work party on Saturday. On Sunday it's supposed to go back down below zero, then some snow on Monday, so a White Christmas is almost guaranteed!Loring Wirbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764834150305763077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-57806867411722200952008-12-18T12:16:00.000-05:002008-12-18T12:16:00.000-05:00Loring, Don will thank you tomorrow if he has a sn...Loring, Don will thank you tomorrow if he has a snow day, which seems likely at this point.

Seriously. <BR/><BR/>And Ruth, I always assume that one base of po-mo is to assert that all history and positioning is a series of narratives, none having any more legitimacy than any other, which is fine, except that it means there can be no values or ethical senses of history because one story is as right as another, and that there is no purpose in political action, since one narrative bears as much legitimacy as another. It's an excuse to sit in an armchair and get fat and fart and still claim that you have a more radical "calling" than someone who actually goes out and ACTS in the world. There, does that sound anti-po-mo enough?Loring Wirbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764834150305763077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-22049519341329592372008-12-17T20:30:00.000-05:002008-12-17T20:30:00.000-05:00Haha, Loring, I haven't heard "de-ride-ah Derrida"...Haha, Loring, I haven't heard "de-ride-ah Derrida" - that's good. Yes, we have a whole little po-mo group in my dept as you can imagine. And I remember when Derrida died a few years ago it was all heaviness. <BR/><BR/>If anyone can give me a clear definition of what post modernism is - that I understand and can remember, I'll send them a prize. Sometimes I think it's just everything that you can't label or categorize. But I'm no scholar, and I haven't studied anything po mo.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-45063565240247291752008-12-17T20:27:00.000-05:002008-12-17T20:27:00.000-05:00Cathy!

Hollander's paper store is in Kerry Town too! So next time you go to Treasure Mart, check it out, and next time I go I'll check out Treasure Mart.

Just when you think there couldn't possibly be more designs and color ways, you turn the corner and a new vista spreads out. Then the back room with all the shelves upon shelves of hand made papers just take any breath away you might have had left.
