Golf (Plus) Anyone? --- Day 5/163

Walk: Piedmont Center for the Arts
Distance: A few blocks and home yoga



Returning from Lorna Strotz, her college friend's, art show Ciwt was thinking her art-related life is going so well and feeling completely natural.  Then there is that other current matter on her mind: nearby golf/bridge/eating/etc. club.  Very nice place and people but maybe as old for Ciwt as her Beatlesmania days.  To be continued...

Gulp --- Day 5/162

Walk: No
Distance: 0, Home Yoga



Ciwt was captured today by the boogey man in her getting-ready-for-Fall closet.

Color It Fall --- Day 5/161

Walk: Fillmore, Trader Joe's, Other Places in the Hood
Distance: 3+ miles, try on clothes, small yoga



Oh dear*, it's getting to be the time of the year when Ciwt's favorite colors** and fabrics start arriving in the stores.  

*ie, Yippee!!
** Better in person

Pizza Party --- Day 5/160

Walk: Mill Valley (Tony Tutto's Pizza - see below)
Distance: A few blocks, a little yoga



Tonight Ciwt will celebrate the end of another year of convention watching* with Hillary and Tony Tutto's Fabulous pizza!

*Since forever Ciwt has considered it her right, duty and privilege to watch and listen (partly sometimes) to each party's convention every four years.

PDA(rt) --- Day 5/159

Walk: Piedmont Art Center
Distance: Couple of blocks



Ciwt took a buswoman's holiday today to work with an old college friend to hang her art show.  Here are some of the reasons it is difficult for artists to show up and do that: 1. Oh - even though they said the calendar was free - they forgot to tell the artist there will be a luncheon in the room today so she can't set up during those hours.  2. Oh - there was a problem with the vents so they are all covered with royal blue tape. 3. Oh, they have several dirty chandeliers on the ceiling right by some dirty spotlights that cause glare on the art.   4. And about that blue wall we said we'd have painted white for you, well....Etc. Etc.

But my friend got it down anyway, and her show looks great.  Good luck and thanks for the fun!!

Fine Day for Hooch --- Day 5/158

Walk: SPCA, Hi-Tech Nails
Distance: 2 miles, small yoga


Edgar Bryan, Moonshine, 2008
Color spit bite and sugar lift aquatints with aquatint
Image size: 14 x 14.5"; Paper size: 22 x 21.5"
Edition size: 25
Publisher: Crown Point Press, Printer: Ianne Kjorlie

Ciwt was looking at the remarkable and distinguished Crown Point Press's website and found this appealing (to her) print.  Bryan, as it turns out, was born (1970) and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and lives and works in L.A.

Ciwt is becoming more and more drawn to the little she has seen of the art scene in L.A. these days.  And she's glad Bryan is a Southerner so there is authenticity to his Moonshine.  She wouldn't mind having a jug of that herself after a rough day with Callie at the vet.  Turned out good enough for older cats (arthritis) but still rough and moonshine-worthy.

Conventional --- Day 5/157

Walk: Marina
Distance: 1 mile and small yoga



Conventions are so conventional.  Ciwt feels it is important to tune in (from time to time) and does so for both parties every four years.  My, oh my, how great it will be to get back to Alex and Jeopardy. 

On We Grow --- Day 5/156

Walk: Embarcadero Cinema (Hunt For The Wilderpeople)
Distance: 4 miles and smallish yoga!!!



Today turned out to be about kids growing up and moving on.  First the charming New Zealand indie The Wilderpeople and then this touching and totally spotless little kitchen out on the sidewalk. Hope it finds just the right pint size chef.
