I am a slow learner.

I have been doing one of those periodic archaeological activities.....desk cleaning.....I came across a quote that I had copied down at some point..."The thing about power is that if you have it, you don't have to talk about it and if you have to tell people about it, you don't have much."

I am discovering that I really (really really) enjoy watching dance. I had tickets to the Texas Ballet Theater last week, Titus this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmRpF5ufVg I left the theater last night smiling, feeling as if I had really participated in something worth doing. Today I have been processing that feeling. ( Read more... )

I haven't posted for a month. There are so many moving parts in my life that 12-hour updates really are necessary. Let me know if you need me to get a white-board and diagram these relationships. I keep one handy to make that possible ( Read more... )

Here I am, having never ever been particularly flexible. And, there they are and Oh My Goodness. The sculptural quality of what they were doing made me wish for the ability to ( Read more... )

The Meadows is a wonderful museum on the south side of SMU. Once you figure out where it is and where to park, going there is fast and easy. Thursday after 5 p.m. it is also free (my personal favorite price). About a third of the exhibit space is for short-term exhibits. The rest of the space is for the permanent installations ( Read more... )

There are three mid-rise office buildings about a block west of where I live. They are what I have in the way of a landscape, the view from all the rooms on the west side of my condo. There isn't anything all that wonderful about the structures, at least not during the day. At night, there is a certain magic that emerges. The lighted windows ( Read more... )
