Distance: 4.5 miles, small yoga
Never fails, even for short, nothing trips. Cats are picking up on it, getting a little hyper.
Such is life 😅

Distance: 3.5 miles, small yoga
Busy day for Ciwt setting up early for catsitter so cats can have sneak preview of new arrangement before she goes to Seattle for a few days. Hopefully they will have factored the new look in and not freak out when she is gone. Hopefully.......

Sunday in Amsterdam --- Day 7/151
Walk: No, in by the heater researching
Distance: 0, yoga
Wind and cold gave Ciwt the opportunity to spend her now beloved kick back Sunday continuing to bond with her newish cats and researching her upcoming (imaginary) (fall) trip to Amsterdam* (and Paris).
* Oh dear, Ciwt just read articles telling us Amsterdam has become a "lawless jungle" where authorities have "thrown up their hands" trying to control the violence. Maybe she should just stay home and continue bonding with her cats....

Transitioning Blind --- Day 7/150
Walk: AMC Kabuki (Blindspotting), Fishhouse
Distance: 2 miles, yoga
Real life, talented (Diggs is a Tony-award winner for a dual role in Hamilton) (and Casal is a rap poetry savant) life long Oakland buddies play modern day Oakland buddies in Blindspotting. The result is modern day spot on and, thanks also to first time director Carlos Lopez Estrada, extremely entertaining. Ciwt thinks (city) people, go see it.

Impossibly Indestructible --- Day 7/149
Walk: AMC Kabuki (Mission Impossible: Fallout), TJ's
Distance: 3 freezing cold, windy miles, yoga
Say what she will about Tom Cruise's 'religion' and bizarre behaviors, he just owns the silver screen.
Still, at age 56. Or you could say, even better at 56. Definitely better and younger looking than his last Mission Impossible a few years ago. Whoever has worked on him deserves a medal for flawlessness; Cruise looks absolutely natural, handsome and elegant. Another medal goes to whoever tailors his clothes. They fit him and drape perfectly whether Cruise is making one of his signature mad dashes
, hanging off a helicopter 
, or roaring through Paris on a motorcycle 
.
In Mission Impossible: Fallout he's paired with actor Henry Cavill, a tall, younger, gorgeous hunk
and is absolutely his equal. Same goes for three much younger, drop dead gorgeous women; it never comes across as old man/young woman.
Watching the indestructible Cruise continue to own a 20-year old franchise was Ciwt's main draw, but Fallout was one of the few MI's with a, you could even say, very good, almost stand alone plot. Also the armchair traveler in Ciwt appreciated the great cinematic presentations of Paris, London Kashmir - and some neat shiny BMW's/ It felt exhilarating to see a strong cast collectively save the world the old fashioned way: with brains, brawn, high energy passion.

Pardon My Bliss --- Day 7/148
Walk: Sausalito
Distance: a few lovely blocks
Kind of impossible to capture an image of what makes Sausalito energy so uplifting.
And how clean and fresh and unprentious the food is at Cibo, one of its eating places.
No matter, Ciwt has always loved going there and is happy it is right across the GG Bridge
from her.

Lost and Not --- Day 7/147
Walk: www.artworksfoundry.com/about, Ceramic Artist Studio Visit
Distance: 2.5 miles, Yoga
Ciwt always feels lucky when she makes a successful trip to the East Bay - meaning a trip without getting lost. Today "lost" had quite a different meaning, as in "lost wax." It is an ancient casting process dating back to China about 200 BC. Because the lost wax process is extremely accurate in recording details and produces works with great durability and longevity, it has been the choice of artists and architects (and dentists) throughout the ages. Rodin's foundries used the process and it is still very much alive right across the Bay in Berkeley.
It is also a complicated, multi-stage process that, try and read and think as she liked, Ciwt has always been pretty lost on understanding. So it felt particularly fulfilling today to finally see the famous wax in the process of being lost and becoming a work of art and to have accomplished that without getting lost in the East Bay.
