Breakfast at Esther’s house. Picked up Ellen Feldman and drove to Addison Gallery in Andover.

Addison Gallery

Excellent exhibitions. Disturbing series on the Manzanar Internment Camp by Ansel Adams, very propagandistic. Surprising show about Triple Candie group that showed things in a warehouse on 126th St in Harlem during the ’70s. See the slide show of things I liked here. Also revisited a Charles Sheeler painting Ballardvale. The ship models in the basement are still a treat.

Karen’s Clams

Drove down to Wollaston Beach in North Quincy. Both beachfront clam shacks were closed for the season. Duh!! Found Burke’s Seafood just off 3A in North Quincy center. Meltdown averted. Food was good, ambience excellent local.

Seen in front of Catholic church around the corner on 3A. Superbowl is tomorrow. Guess Jesus is on the Patriot’s side.

I’m Not Your Negro – movie

Saw this at Landmark in Cambridge with Ellen Feldman. Outstanding, compelling. Baldwin, as noted earlier in the Fall 2016 at HAL workshop, still speaks to us.

Dinner at the Friendly Toast

A Kendal Sq. eatery favored by Elfel. Drove to Belmont to stay with Bill and Nancy. Arrived on schedule at 8:30 pm sharp.

A throwback. Still good. Still cheap.
