Letters, Brown and clay laments

what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this what is this

Okay...I'm back from Ohio where I spent some time being with relatives and failing (again) to lose ten pounds.

Today was the first day of classes here at the City College of New York. After some headache (I think) I found an interesting class for which (It sounds like)I can get graduate credit. I was hoping to take the Clays and Glazes class Sylvia had recommended, but that is looking unlikely.

Perhaps in error, I ended up in an architecture history lecture series led by a fairly entertaining speaker named Lance Jay Brown and taed by Camille Dunn. The course is called The built environment of NYC: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design.

The assignments and readings are numerous, starting with:

turning Down the global thermostat

a conversation with ed mazria
and measures of sustainable design and performance
