Monday! End of August
Look! It's Monday, and I'm posting about Monday! Go me!
This morning we woke early and drove to almost Boston, where Kurt Busiek happened to be for a few more hours, which we spent together eating brunch. I have known Kurt exactly as long as I've known Scott (having met them together at Syracuse, it really has been a trip all about SU).
It's always good to catch up with Kurt. We don't see him nearly enough these days. And Scott finally got him a copy of The Sculptor (Kurt was one of his kibitzers).
After a lovely few hours with Kurt, we had time to kill before our room in the next hotel would be ready. In a spur of the moment decision, we decided to go to the deCordova (a museum with a 30 acre sculpture garden and a several floor museum.
We spent more time in than out since it was way too hot out. The museum had an exhibit about walking art, which was fascinating. A whole lot to think about. I love art that makes you think.
We did walk a bit in the sculpture garden. There was a piece by Sol LeWitt! A few days ago, I'd never heard of him. Now I'm obsessed! Here's a picture of me (with sunglasses and my cane) standing in front of his sculpture:
And here's a picture of my favorite sculpture. It's by Richard Rosenblum, and it's called Venusvine. It's made out of bronze not vines! I kept calling it "I Am Groot," it made me happy.
After the museum, we checked into our hotel and just hung out for a bit. I got to talk to Winter about her first day of classes (stressful) and her roommate (awesome). It was good.
On our way to the hotel we had passed a Noodles & Company, which is a restaurant that Scott and I love, so we decided to go there for dinner. When we got there we discovered that it was still being built! No food there! But we had passed Jordan's Furniture, a Boston institution, that we hadn't been to in decades. We knew they had to have some kind of food (picture IKEA on crack), so we decided to go there. They had a Fuddruckers! I love Fuddruckers! We ate there, then wandered around the furniture until they kicked us out. It made up for Noodles & Company not being there!
All in all, a great day. Except for the fact that I just realized Monday is laundry day, and today was Monday, and I didn't do laundry. And I'd thought about it, but for some reason I thought tomorrow was laundry day. Aren't you looking forward to tomorrow's post now?
