Reunited (A Little Lost)

My frenzied life marches on without respite. I'm back at Wellesley, working the alumnae reunion and generally goofing off. It's a lot of fun, but I'm still a little out-of-sorts. The alums are all fascinating, and I'm glad to have an opportunity to interact with them. I even got to meet the big sister of my Wellesley big sister (at Wellesley, during first year, every student receives a "big sibling," whom is an upperclass student interested in being a mentor/friend/good influence on a younger student). The whole thing has filled me with warm fuzzies and a feeling of extreme luck.

But because I haven't taken a lot of photos recently, here is a great little song by Arthur Russell, a wonderful musician who worked with the likes of Phillip Glass and Allen Ginsberg. He died from complications of AIDS in 1992, at which point he was still fairly unrecognized and poor. As is often the case, his music has become exponentially more popular since his death, with lots of re-releases and demos and alternate takes finally seeing the light of day, including this recent one, Corn.

I want you to hear this.
