Wednesday – 2/22/2017

Up early to get to Fish and Game Rd CMH Physical Therapy by 7:39am. Hour long session with Susan Sheldon to treat my vertigo. Charming, thorough, and very practiced. She does 8-10 Epley Maneuvers a week. An hour later I was well on my way to bring cured. 

Felt kind of buzzed for the rest of the day. 

Worked on Fundamentals of Capitalism essay for Jonathan. Also more work on UTM marketing strategy. 

Brief walk up the street.

Wide pine boards being as;caged from Savoia bldg.

Wednesday – 2/15/2107 – Florida trip

After waffles at Flo’s condo we set off for Miami. 

Stopped at three private museums in the Wynwood district: de la Cruz Collection,  The Rubell Family Collection, and The Margulies Collection.

Biggest impact was seeing so much work by Anselm Kiefer at the Margulies and de la Cruz. (de la Cruz would not allow photos.) See Anselm Kiefer – 2/15/2017 in Projects here (opens new tab).

Started with breakfast looking over Flo’s water feature pond with roaring pump across the way where a sink hole had opened.

Drove to Wakodahatchee Wetlands Preserve – we’ve been here before. Lots of birds, reptiles, etc. One mile walkway over swamp. Continue reading

Sunday – 2/12/2017 – Florida Trip

Left Smithfield NC after drive by of the Ava Gardner Museum. Only people well into their 70s recognize her name let alone feel compelled to visit a museum of memorabilia. 

The land along 95 is the coastal plain. Low and swampy. Not much to look at. Lots of very large billboards in SC. Where is Lady Bird Johnson?

Detoured into Savannah GA for quick bite to eat. Karen got oysters. We renewed our liking for this town. SCAD is bigger than ever. 

Drove 500 miles to St. Augustine Beach. Excellent meal at the “original Cafe Eleven”. Nice ambience. Hard to imagine music in this small venue.
