Wow, to walk between missions. Ha, there are some that aren't that far apart.......even though they are supposed to be the same.

That would be very very very interesting to try. I walk a lot {try}. I just got home from an 75 minute walk, nice and full of hills.

Yeah, this is my break.

I love the things you are researching, the Valentino and Fatty Arbuckle files. SOOO interesting!! I love those times.

Heh, MW, if only I did not have to work for a living! I'd have more time for my hobbies and research!

BTW, proud of you on your 75 minute walk! You go!

MouseWife · 04-17-2008, 02:31 PM

I'm with you on that!!

Well, looking at the glass half full, it only makes the time you have to devote to your hobbies/research all the more sweet!

I hate work. But, it is a means to an end, no?

Thank you, this was a long walk today. Usually we break it up with a stop for water at Starbucks but took a different route. I think it is much better not to stop, keep the heartrate up. But who can turn down sitting out at Starbucks and people watching while chatting it up with my cronie?

By sheer dumb luck (and being a member of the museum certainly helped) my visiting friend Jeff (I call him my brother, if I had one, he'd be it) and his family (Dad, Stepmom, Sister and Brother in Law) went to the De Young Museum today and managed to get into the sold out opening day of the Dale Chihuly Exhibition.

Not thinking we'd get in, I left my camera at home (stupidly) and as we walked through the incredible exhibition, I remembered, I had my cell phone with me. I took 65 pics, but only managed to get a few off the phone before the battery died. (Le Sigh)

Here are a few samples (sorry, crappy cell phone camera, but some are not too terrible) at least they do not kill Chihuly's artistry (also, sorry, too tired to resize them, if a mod wants to or can, please feel free):

This is one called Sun, an outdoor installation at the Palace of the Legion of Honor (ther is one inside and one at the Conservatory of Flowers) and one more outside the De Young (I took a pic from the observation platform, still on the phone)

Two from the Boat installations, incredible and HUGE

Some sea forms

Reeds (alas, fuzzy, I have 3 others on the phone, clearer)

Persian Ceiling was beyond incredible

Final was Mileflores

We had a great time, no question about it. I plan on going at least 5-6 more times to take this all in. Anyone wanna join me?

Later we stopped at the Cliff House for drinks and appetizers (I do not normally imbibe, but for Father's day and to see my bud, my brother, Jeff, I had a pear martini and got more than buzzed on that one drink) then a quick visit to the USS San Francisco Memorial at Lands End, most moving, I'd never been there. I will go back to hike the trail (preparation for Yosemite, me, for once, thinking ahead)

Frida Kahlo this coming Thursday at SFMOMA.

Ugh, the photos are so big ... I can't see any one all at once. Um, but beautiful. The floral stuff looks like it may have been done by the same artist that did the incredible ceiling at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Hopefully no repeats from before. These in no way do any justice to what I saw, but I had to share!

As usual, I've been loving you too much. Consider yourself mojo'd again.

GORGEOUS photos.

You, me, libraryvixen & Frida?
