This weekend I am driving to Dayton to visit my aunt. Tomorrow night we are going to a madrigal Christmas dinner, and Sunday I will go to the Dayton Art Institute and see the Rembrandt exhibit and whatever other treasures I have time for, including the glass, which I especially love. There's just something about art glass, with the light shining through it, it's an almost magical medium. I wonder how glass was first discovered anyway? Maybe someone was firing a pot in a kiln and some sand got into it and melted into glass. If I remember correctly from my archaeology studies, ceramics have been around for over 6,000 years, so I'm thinking maybe they came before glass.

Anyway, I hope the madrigal dinner is cool--it should be like a mini-renaissance fair--costumes, singing, dancing, food.
