I do not know the name of this artwork, unless it is “Untitled.” As of now the artist is also unknown. It looks to be made out of clay, but probably with some sort of rebar in it. It is composed of sixteen more than a foot on each side elements and is hanging on the wall behind me. It is big and looks fragile. I hope that we can sell it, because no one else wants it and it will not fit in our house.

It turned warm this weekend in Monterey. Not as hot as elsewhere in California, where temperatures in the central valley got up into the triple digits. It has been nowhere near as hot as that here, more like the high sixties, but it does get warn enough in the evening that we like to open some of the sliding glass doors. Today, it is back to normal, hot while in the sun and cold when not.

Today, we Facetimed with Dan. He is up to his elbows in his new job. He is working another immersive play, similar to last year’s Will and Trust, only smaller and on a budget. Almost anything about it is still too top secret for this blog. Although, this one he can work from home and has pretty much taken over the living room. He is tasked with building a number of contraptions for the productions. One of them involves lady’s evening gloves. His supplier gave him a pair, but they were unacceptable. Mom and Dad to the rescue! We found two pairs of kid gloves here that look acceptable.

My mother, Jackie, in addition to collecting art, also collected fashion. When we were on Guam, she would occasionally getaway for a long weekend to Hong Kong. She and the other Navy wives would fly space available on government airliners for free. There the women would party and shop. She bought the most wonderous hand tailored gowns that are still in the family. My dad never throughout anything. He probably still remembers how much they cost, even though they were acquired in the fifties, when the American dollar was king. Anne plans on trying to sell them at local secondhand stores this week.

Dan had also picked another gig. With this one he worked a Warhammer 40K convention and got paid. Anne told him that this made her so proud, because after years of being a 40K rules lawyer, he got promoted to a rules judge. 😉
