Lisa and I have been spending some of our evenings watching history lectures from the Teaching Company. We recently finished a series on Great Artists of the Italian Renaissance, and we're now watching a series on the History of the Papacy. All of this tends to put one into a "historical" frame of mind.

Jump to this afternoon: Sarah is standing in front of the 'fridge with the door wide open, staring inside to see what she wanted for a snack, I remark to Lisa that the practice seems to be one of the universal constants of childhood and wonder aloud whether medieval kids stood in front of the animal pen with the gate wide open, staring inside trying to decide what to eat. Lisa liked that image and thought I should share it.
