T he end is nigh! The autumn semester/term approaches. And while we still have almost two months of summer left according to the calendar, "Summer is over and gone," as the crickets sang in Charlotte's Web . At least for those of us who head back to the classroom in less than a month. In advance of a meeting with my program director late Monday morning, I spent about 40 minutes total during the weekend to jot down several ideas about planned workshops and related activities for the coming 2024-2025 academic year. At an opportune moment, I mentioned "I have a few ideas," and opened my leather portfolio. My director was highly receptive to almost everything I suggested, and we had a very productive planning session for just over 90 minutes. Just about everything I sketched out on Sunday aligns with his own ideas. It's nice when meetings go that well, and two related things occur to me in hindsight. One, it pays to exercise...
I think I prefer these, with the accentuated profiles of Fellowes.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I had seen some of these before and thought they were by Fellowes. Thanks for setting me straight. What a wonderful, lost world. Aspirational, of course as with any commercial advertising and fashion art, but just look at what people were aspiring to, rather than the slovenly, vacant-eyed, pouters in contemporary fashion ads. Many thanks, Heinz-Ulrich.
