Lately

The Baltimore trip was great but unbelievable hot. Even the inner harbor rides were still wicked hot. Got to see Francine and hang out for a while. Which is always like no time has passed. Rode the train and got to see some bad tattoos. Baseball, Ft. McHenry and the Visionary Art Museum.

Karen will be here on Thursday to help celebrate my birthday on Saturday. I'm looking forward to that, too.

I'm working my way through the pottery and glass collection. The really big pots are still to be inventoried. Oy. Patience will be required. Then through it all one more time to see if the numbers and locations are correct since I'm not sure if things are still on the shelves or not. Possibly clear up some mysteries.

The bead weavings are coming along. Girx is almost done. The other designs are printed out in their rough state so I can develop the designs from there. Probably in pencil first, then digital.

Baltimore

Now it's off to Baltimore for a few days. I've never been there, only through it on the highway. Why not?

Indigo dye class

Sometimes I forget what I like about teaching. But this weekend's class was wonderful and reminded me why I enjoy it.

Indigo dye

This weekend in Beaufort we teach indigo dyeing as well as Procion dye. I spent today getting ready -- physically and mentally. I'm expecting it to be fun.

Linked In

Yes, Bean is linked-in. As an independent operator at a think tank. Yeah, that's about right.

I, however, am not. At a think tank nor using Linked in.

Today

I'm achy from the tetanus shot and sweaty and in a funk. My friends will be here on Saturday and I so enjoy their company. Respond to emails before lunch. Haircut at 2.

I'd like to get some traction again on my artwork. That can be today's goal -- revisit my current work.

My left foot---

---Had two splinters in it. It was more of an ordeal having them taken out than they should have been. One tetanus shot later ----  was my last one REALLY in 2010?
