10 things I’ve done that you… probably haven’t

Bet You Haven’t Done These

There’s a meme that apparently started on LiveJournal – List ten things that you have done that your friends and readers probably haven’t. Took some head scratching, but here’s my list:

  • Intubated a cat (don’t ever think you can’t find it on the ‘net)
  • Moved most of a half ton of paper (in boxes) about 6 feet in about 20 minutes
  • Helped catch and band some woodcocks
  • I’m interviewed each year in December by newspapers and radio re fruitcake
  • I have gone to a week long dance "camp" and done dances of the 1700’s
  • I made two dresses based on actual dresses of the mid to late 18th century
  • I have danced all night 7 pm to 6 am and driven home afterwards.
  • Took care of a racoon for a weekend – and what a nightmare of a baby-sitting experience that was!
  • Went to the filming of the king kong remake – the scene after he falls off the WTC. (Years later told my mother that I took the subway to get there. At night.)
  • Signed up as a bone marrow donor. 10 years later get a call that I’m a match. They ask me a few questions and I’m disqualified because I take meds for mild asthma. (OK, they gotta be kidding me that I can’t donate bone marrow because my asthma is controlled. So I hope you’ll go sign up to be a donor too.)

Yes it’s squares again. No, I’m not putting red strips on this one too. Yes, it’s really green and browns. Some yellow. More color to come. Yes there are a lot of squares. 900 of them actually and I have about two thirds of them laid out. Sometimes a limited palette is a good thing and sometimes, even when it’s a good thing, it’s challenging to stay on task and lay stuff out. Sometimes it’s good to take a break and use the camera and computer to see how it’s going.

Local Potters in the news

Some local women are highlighted in a Times Union piece about their pottery work. I know I’ve met Mary Anne Davis in the Apple Store — her website is incorrectly given in the article. here’s the correct URL.

Pat and I travelled to NYC today to see the Christo installation: The Gates. It was a perfect day to see them – bright with spots of sunshine. Central Park was crowded with people from all over the world, talking, enjoying, photographing. A very interesting experience! See my rough edit photos here.

So, here I sit in Panera’s, on my way to somewhere else, enjoying their WiFi. Chic and yet so geeky, although I have to say that my PB is the coolest machine in the joint. The rest? Let’s just say big and black also-rans, emphasis on the big! 12″ powerbooks rule, the rest – well they drool.

OK, enough of that. I’m just sitting back, surfing some web and catching up on some reading while waiting for my next stop. Can’t help but think about George over in Cleveland — his is the nomadic life and I hope he’s enjoying it even more with his new iBook!
