In accordance with Article 1, Section 4, of the Charter, I have taken on a project for the Society.

I think probably most of you are familiar with CORRAL, the local rehabilative riding organization for special needs children.  You may also be aware that Brown and Marie Powell run CORRAL basically on their own, and further give back to the community even more with their annual Christmas pageant.

I’ve attended for two years now, and one cannot help but notice that the sound quality of the recording they use for the pageant is substandard.  Marc and I thought last year that it would be an easy project for us to take on, and today I volunteered my services to rebuild their narration and music so that it sounds professional.

It may be a one-person job, but if I need help, who would like to assist?

We also need to find them some better speakers, but we can do that next.

Would anyone here like to join me for a Lichtenbergian / Lacuna summer reading program? I propose a Roberto Calasso summer. I purchased Ka quite a few years ago and never quite got around to reading it, so I hope to remedy that now. What brought this on is someone at my work place putting a bunch of free books in the break room. One of the them was The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. I immediately remembered Ka and thought … ahhhh. It is time.

But this is the type of material that BEGS discussion. I propose we read Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, followed by Ka, and then The Ruin of Kasch and, finally, K. (Notice the alliteration in the titles … not sure if that’s intentional.) This would be my first reading outside of my “Native American” obsession in years.

I don’t know if there would be any interest in this here, but there it is.

For those who don’t know anything about Calasso or these works, I trust you know what a “search engine” is. Nose around a bit and see if this interests you. It’s something I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while now. Can’t wait to dive in.

Toodles.
