This is the one in which I remember why I used to never go outside. Welwyn Preserve stands on the north shore where the GPS gives out and across from a camp. Buses lined themselves up so that cars could not pass. The GPS flickered on to tell me to go elsewhere after I sat … Continue reading Outdoorsy Part XXIII: All The Bugs
Because the art expo was during the day, BG figured I’d be up for it because it was well before my bedtime. Because it was at a brewery, I was iffy at first because I don’t drink and I don’t eat—I live on air—and I don’t like going to things where I’m not going to … Continue reading Art Ownership and a Zoltar Encounter (and Warhol)

Children at the museum! This was my first encounter with a school field trip at the Nassau County Museum of Art. I assume it was a class trip. There were children there. They were sitting in a semi circle. Then they scattered all around me, drawing. I love that they were taking in the art. … Continue reading It’s Electrifying (AKA More Tesla Stuff)
Yoga In Times Square Mind Over Madness. Done! Summer Solstice in years past have been scorching hot. This year, monsoonish. The class before me got drenched in a downpour.
