so good I cannot stand it

I love this.

More soon.

At Nightfall by Sursaut from Montreal

Rehearsal before one of the shows.  SUCH a splendid show of contemporary dance w/o any words- incredible music, costumes, dance, lighting, sets.  They had to pack up quick and get through the border before midnight when their US VISA's ran out!  Great show at the Wex.  Excellent children's/family theater: not at all dumbed down (thank god) all the kids "get it"; it's the adults who never do.

Intoxicating

I do not know what kind of flowering bush this is, but it smells SO GOOD I can hardly stop sniffing it when I walk by it and bury my head into it.

The John Lennon bus arrived today

www.lennonbus.org

I greeted the arrival of this bus at 7AM this morning at the Wexner.  Its now almost 10 PM and I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Its so incredible, though.

It is here for a group of tween girls to make a music video; girls who would never in their wildest dreams have access to such a mobile state of the art facility or technical assistance.  Tomorrow we will see what they came up with!

Enhancement of mundane objects

It is fun to watch people draw.

Pimp My Cart

I took the Wexner's Education Department cart over to the drop in center (see how boring looking it is?).  The teens there will have it for a week along with some paint markers.  They have agreed to "enhance" (or vandalize) the cart for one week.  I will go over and take a picture each day to see the progress.

big OCEAN love

I really cannot express what it does to me.  The ocean opens me and I immediately unwind like a ball of yarn in its presence.  I love Cape Cod and the light, the dunes, the plant and bird life, the harshness and timelessness.  To walk these beaches daily, weekly or even monthly would be a total dream come true and heaven on earth for me.  So much moodier than Hawaii and actually a closer match to me in some ways.  This is Marconi Beach (thanks gsb for taking me here 0ver 10 years ago and again this weekend).

GSB and I on Longnook Beach (thanks Diane)

(way too much wacky messy curly hair between us) the weather was incredible, the ocean was incredible, this particular beach was super incredible, everything was off the charts while simultaneously deeply mundane and ordinary (my favorite combination) and so some kind of chapter 2 seems to emerge from chapter 1, a decade ago...

super quiet Friday morning in Somerville

P-Town

I did not eat here but loved the sign.  P-Town is a place I can tolerate well for about 3 hours (the full time allowed on the parking meters there) and then its time to go.

Mussels

I love fresh mussels and these were so delicious; the salad was not so great but the company was the best part.  It almost seems as if this might be turning into a food blog but I have to blame my friend Jill who is a food blogger for influencing me and turning me on to taking pictures of all your food before you eat it.

Preparing for the Herring Run

Every year for thousands of years the herring run "back" upstream here in the spring time.  These men were clearing away branches and overgrowth from the stream.  Humans have been coming here since the beginning of our existence to easily gather fish and eat well with very little effort!  This is not allowed anymore but the feeling of the anticipation was quite palatable.

The Cape

Heading to Boston in a couple of days to see (drumroll please) THE OCEAN and (another drumroll please) GORDON, two of my most favorite things right now : ), pix will be coming soon.  I cannot wait to get out of here.  

My tai chi class was awesome last night.  I wish I could just practice with my teacher every single day somehow, following right behind him for hours and hours...

I love asparagus

when I come back in my next life, I do not know if I prefer to come back as an artichoke or asparagus.  Do you think the asparagus has any awareness of how tasty it is to me?!
