Short Trip to the Boston MFA

Nice 2 hours to see what's new down there. (Also love the old stuff.) Traffic was kind this day.

Funny that the galleries and halls were empty but the two main cafes were packed and had long waiting lines. !

There was a small Dali exhibit .... he's okay for me, but just okay.

A Trip To Virginia & The Shenanoah Nat'l Park

jpg

Few weeks back, we drove down to Loretta's (Virginia) for hiking, etc etc.
Loretta's planning and preparation was (as you'd expect) supreme, with everyone bringing food and goodies along. The "lodge" was modern, really nice - included a large hot tub and a game room filled with pool tables and ping-pong tables.

But after two days, Deb and I learned that having no cell phone or GPS service on poorly marked gravel roads in unfamiliar territory was very unnerving for us old folks, so we kissed and hugged and headed home, hoping no one's feelings were hurt.

I collected pictures from everyone and put them up here for the recordbook:

Sunday Morning

Fighting colds, but not too bad.
My very first florentine omelette (excellent).

I used up one of my lives today when I cut the power line with the hedge clipper.

"King of Jazz" (1930)

Dreamlike, no plot, nostalgic, pleasant, often weird.
