Writing in the Time of the Pandemic
Also worth noting: Roemer characterized the quality of each of his measurements in his journal, based on the atmospheric seeing and other factors. IIRC, an article on this topic appeared in the American Journal of Physics where all they did was apply Roemer's own methodology but selected only those measurements that Roemer himself classified as.

Roemer measured the speed of light by timing eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io. In this figure, S is the Sun, E1 is the Earth when closest to Jupiter (J1) and E2 is the Earth about six months later, on the opposite side of the Sun from Jupiter (J2).

In that time . . .
By Marjorie Roemer
I noticed things. Specifically, the little leaves coming out on my Christmas cactuses. They emerge, one at a time, first the tiniest speck at the end of an established leaf. Week by week, that speck creeps out until it is a pale, reddish quarter inch. I think, with less time on my hands, I wouldn’t see these at all. Now, I pore over the plants and I see, cheering on these tiny bits of growth.
What else can I see now? Certainly the signs of spring, my emerging bleeding hearts and forget-me-knots. Sad names for such pretty things.
The taste of food, the changes in the weather, the news from outside . . . all have an enhanced importance as other diversions are no longer available. And I rejoice at all Zooming possibilities: our BOLLI meetings, the choruses and orchestras that somehow manage to create affirming, triumphant sounds. With diminished horizons, everything looms larger, and I think we all cling to signs of life and vitality, celebrating the way that people can unite to overcome distance and isolation.
The majesty and unconquerable nature of the human spirit is something to affirm, something to cling to. I am so grateful to all those musicians and dancers who continue to bring us delight, who articulate artistry and commitment in these trying times. Ballet dancers with their adagios around a kitchen counter, others in fields and on roof tops, dancing their joy.
I look forward to meals and the occasional long phone call. I read plague literature, first Camus then Defoe. I watch the news and hear about what new blunder our government has made and watch Blue Bloods on Amazon when it all gets to be too much. I rejoice at my own ability to survive with the help of Instacart and Wegmans’ deliveries. I check out how the virus is faring in the places where my family members live. I didn’t know what county Cary, North Carolina was in, but now I do, and I check to see how relatively safe my grandson might be.
Vigilance, anxiety, concern (and rage) are balanced by some new set of appreciations, some new awareness, or permeability. I check again my tiny new slow-starting leaves, and I see another tiny dot of expectation. Hooray for you, I say. I’m on your side.
Marjorie has been at BOLLI for nine years, taking classes, teaching classes, serving on committees. Writing has, all the while, helped to frame and deepen experience for her. (Be sure to dip into the 2020 BOLLI Journal to read two of her lovely poems.)
Römer + Römer (Torsten and Nina Römer) are a German-Russian artist couple living and working in Berlin, Germany.[1]
Biography[edit]
Torsten Römer was born 1968 in Aachen, Germany. Nina Römer, née Tangian, 1978 in Moscow, Russia.[2] Both studied painting at the Staatliche Kunstakademie (State Art Academy) Düsseldorf under A. R. Penck[2] and both were his 'Meisterschüler' (master students). Nina Römer is the granddaughter of the Soviet-era writer Yury Trifonov and the great-granddaughter of the Ukrainian-Russian-Soviet painter Amshey Nurenberg. 1996 Torsten Römer received a travel grant from the Kunstverein Düsseldorf (Society of Arts). In 2011 they were bestowed with the special award of the Lucas Cranach Prize of the City of Kronach, Germany. Nina and Torsten have been collaborating since 1998.[3]
Works[edit]
Römer + Römer create paintings and drawings mostly based on their own photography, make performances, and curate shows.[citation needed]. In 1998 they commenced their long-term art project “M°A°I°S”. Their works often incorporate historical and political references: 2005 the Berlin show “Der freie Wille” (“The free will”) was part of the jubilee events for 20 years of “Glasnost”. And 2004 “HA KYROPT – Russische Kunst heute” (“Na Kurort [at the spa] – Russian Art Today”) in Baden-Baden related to the city's close ties with Russians spa-guests since the times of the Tsar. In such projects Römer + Römer provide an aesthetic reconstruction of historical and political situations.[4] Their motifs are mostly festivities, pageants, parties, and social and political events.. In a 2013/14 series they covered the carnival in Brasil ('Sambódromo'). Technically Römer + Römer set out from self-taken photographs which are subjected to image processing, the computer taking the traditional role of the sketchbook. The pictorial idea finds its artistic form in paintings showing a pixel-structure. The pixels, however, are different from digital pixels as they possess inner structures. This way Römer + Römer's art is related to Pointillism, and one may also see references to stipple engraving. The motifs are distributed over planes of colour and fragmented into thousands of painted dots, which, seen from a certain distance, merge in the eye of the beholder to form a focussed image. The closer one comes to the canvas, the more the figures and objects dissolve into an abstract and dynamic interplay of colours.[5] Their latest large series treats the 'Burning Man' festival in the Nevada desert (2017/2018). Light from fires and LED-installations, art cars, freak temporary artworks, 'burns', and parties for, the subject core of a recognisable painterly aesthetic.
