Lunch Post: The Mummy UPDATED

It is inevitable that Lunch Posts get spilled on, crumpled, stepped on and…lost…. NYC public schools were closed this week, for an inexplicably extended President’s Day break, leaving the city’s parents scrambling. Tuesday he joined me at Pratt, hanging out with one of my talented former students while I taught. Yesterday he went to work with his mom, who runs the costume shop in the undergrad theater department at NYU. Somehow, in the course of watching alligator masks being built, actors being fit, and consuming nasty fast food, the Lunch Post disappeared. I was not very understanding. Fortunately, it turned up at the bottom of a bag, a little roughed-up, but intact. And it is well worth the wait.  The canopic jars are always a freaky fun part of any Ancient Egyptian exhibit.
