Saturday

Left for Boston at 7am. Arrived Needham by 9:45. Visited with Paul and Ruth. He looks older, tired. He is recovering from pneumonia. She from diverticulitis surgery. Good visit.

Drove over to Griffin Museum. Pick up a bucket of books to return from last fall’s book show.

Arrived at Chinese restaurant in Brookline early for 1pm gathering to honor Jane Kogan’s 80th birthday. Kind of an odd event. Food not so good. Miriam’s two daughters and families were there. Spoke with Stuart Pitchel. He recalled my consulting at SRP Signs.  Sat next to some grumpy cousins from Jane’s family. Left at 2:15 before the speeches in order to get back to Hudson for the 6pm gallery opening event.

Everything ready/

Very crowded opening. 7 local artists brought their posses out. Glad when it was over at 8pm.

More The Closer.
