Fanksgiving Friday Quick Hits and Varia
The Friday after Thanksgiving is always weird. It’s neither a weekend nor a weekday. I have work to do and for many it’s a work day, but I also want to watch college football. There are lingering festivities, of course, but also plenty to remind us to return to reality. In any event, such strangeness is part of what makes the holiday season special, I suppose.
There are plenty of things to look forward too. The Aussies have already dispatched India in the first ODI of the summer. The mighty Spiders start their 2020 basketballing campaign and the face Kentucky on national TV on Sunday. The Eagles play on Monday Night Football. There’s some fine boxing as well. Daniel Dubois finally has his much delayed fight against Joe Joyce which is a much more compelling heavyweight fight that watching two old guys go at it on pay-per-view.
There’s also plenty to read, plenty to do, and plenty to write.
And, of course, a very short list of quick hits and varia:
Finding Archaeological Relevance during a Pandemic and What Comes After
21st-Century Methods and Classical Antiquity (feat. Big Data).
What I’m (re)reading: Chris Witmore, Old Lands: A Chorography of the Eastern Peloponnese. 2020. (I’ve blogged on this here and here, but now I’ve been invited to write something a bit longer and more formal).
What I’m listening to: Various Artists, Wildflowers: Loft Jazz New York 1976.
Milo and Argie say Happy Thanksgiving andNO, they won’t share their marrow bones
