gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Nice weather again today. Lots of sunshine.
My sweetie spent some time cleaning the broken glass out of his car and fashioning a plywood insert that will have to serve until he can get the window replaced, which isn't easy with him working away from home.
I went to see River, and that was nice. He was relaxed and reasonably focused. The rain sheet we bought yesterday fits him well. It was a nice temperature to be riding.
I came home and we watched the animated version of "El Dorado" which was okay, but pretty blah. It had a surprisingly bad soundtrack by Elton John.
It was nice to be able to sit in the chair together.
I am reading a novel by Ursula K. Le Guin called "The Left Hand of Darkness", and one of its themes is gender. One of the civilizations in the book is hermaphroditic, and also mostly neuter until they go into a cycle of reproduction. Apparently that was shocking back in 1969, and it's interesting to think that it's not even that original an idea anymore. That is a big shift in a short period of time, but I wonder if it would have been all that shocking to cultures other than puritan North America in the late '60's? The ancient Greeks wouldn't likely have been shocked.
