Reflections from the North

I am writing from Provincetown, Massachusetts where I may have just experienced the last warm and sunny day for a few months to come. It's wonderful to be by the sea again; I haven't seen the ocean since I was in South Carolina. Although I did just return from Illinois and Indiana, where I was surprised to find there is a real beach with sand dunes, a horizon, even shells. But that salty smell is irreplaceable...
Volunteering for Obama was unlike anything I have experienced. There was an incredi… Continue

Hi Ruby

So nice to hear from you, here there is nothing much happening , i was invited to an opening of a lodge here in Cape Town, they want me to display my sculptures in their garden and then there is this cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe which is worrying us because there is no medicines .

Till next time

Take care

Dear Ruby,
Thanks for your note. We were in MA last weekend for our grandson's bar mitzvah, which was great. We are planning to be in CT for Thanksgiving. It must have been exciting to be a part of the Obama campaign. What is your next adventure? If you can come to West Hartford on Friday of Thanksgiving, I can introduce to to our children and grandchildren. Just call my cell phone. Have a great Thanksgiving with your family.
Take care,
Mindy

Ruby, What a wonderful group to share, and we also share Brooklyn, where I'm going tomorrow! I love the issues you ponder in this post, and ask all the time what art is supposed to be, how it can be so off-putting or so engaging, and how little we regard the meaningful debris that has such power for people...I'm looking forward to the closing weekend, and getting to know the participants better. We overlap quite a lot!
Keep in touch...
