forestofglory* Went to the library with the lions and saw Winnie-the-Pooh and friends. (The stuffed toys) They looked awfully sad.
*Went to the Met
*Went to the natural history museum. This was full of dead animals. I liked the dioramas, but I felt bad for the animals. (especially a pair of tiger cubs) There is also the problem that there are halls of African Mammals, Asian Mammals ect. and also halls of North American Peoples, Asian Peoples, ect but no European Peoples. The implied equivalence is rather icky. However the whole thing made me very curious about the history of museum -- what people have displayed, how they have displayed (The text was quite different in recently updated bits then older bits). I wonder if there is a good book about this.
*Saw friend and relatives including my 7 year old cousins. (They are twins)
*(In New Jersey) went to my Grandmother 100th birthday party
*Ate fancy food
