limonchiki
Had a great time at a surf night on Friday after New Years. The visiting Russian band the Vivisectors did a great tune, mixing in Russian dance music with the surf. That's our own Negative Ed filling in on bass on the left!

Culture day
Finally found a day where we could take Katie and few friends to some art galleries.
Three are pretty close by, in western Massachusetts, about 100 miles from home.
MassMoCA had a new retrospective of Sol Lewitt.
MASSMoCA
Also did a quick stop in Williamstown at the Williams College Museum of Art. They were part of building the retrospective of Lewitt, by partnering with Yale to draw and paint the works. When you purchase or borrow Lewitt works, you receive instructions on how to paint them, so about 100 students worked for several months creating the works in a space larger than MOMA in NYC! If the work is exhibited elsewhere, it generally must be taken down or covered up while you display it.
WCMA
WCMA also has several displays going now, including Tina Barney's portraits of the privileged classes.
After an Indian meal on Spring Street, my old stomping ground, we quickly toured the Clark Art Institute, a wonderful place also in rural Williamstown where Sterling and Francine Clark moved their collection to protect it from atomic attack.
They have mostly old masters, much like a European museum.

Summer weekend
About to enjoy a sunny summer weekend in Connecticut.
Last week went to RI beach under slightly overcast skies, but that made it more pleasant without burning sun.
This weekend will be around the house.
Almost finished with my workshop setup. Pics to follow.
Training class and vacation almost here! Woot!

Simsbury parade
Here's a quick shot of the chopper bikes and '59 caddy waiting to go in the Simsbury Memorial Day parade. Perfect weather!

Back at work
Home from Florida. Katie enjoyed riding Gloria, a friendly and very strong mare.
The wedding went well. Rutty is now married again!
