Still Learning

 

Natalie has invited me to read along with her for one of her college classes.  I ordered the book from the library.  I hope my mind hasn’t wandered too long in the mush of mysteries and relationships.  I’m just going to have to put my teeth back in my mouth so I can chew on the hard stuff.

When I told my friend Gerry about Natalie’s generosity, he mentioned his friend who had just retired as a professor at her school.  Which sent me thinking about academia.  A few years ago, another professor, my ex-husband’s daughter Laura Kipnis, wrote an article about sex wars on her campus.  It created quite a buzz.  Recently, I watched the Netflix show, The Chair. The story seems like it might be the way things are today.

Natalie is organizing a philosophy club.  I told her my favorite philosophers are the stoics.  And Camus.  That seems about right for now.
