dang ! i thought i posted yesterday
Jules and I caught this while in D.C. at the Hirshhorn museum in D.C. Proof positive we are just ridiculous people ~ we had been walking around D.C. all day and happened to look into this small theatre and saw it was a movie...so we went in and sat in the back row against the wall. It was very dark and this scene played continually ~ a man walking in front of an icebreaker. We sat there ..............waiting.............for something to happen. Eventually other people would come in a sit in front of us, pairs of people and they would sit for a moment and there would be silence, then perhaps a cough, then embarrassed laughter, then they would leave shaking their heads. Jules and I enjoyed watching people react over and over typically the same way: some would speak about how stupid this was, others would be searching for some idea of what was going on....it was way too interesting. they would leave and then we would laugh ~ perhaps it was a feeling of superiority that we knew this was all there was and they just didn't get it. Maybe we were just tired and sitting made our feet hurt less and we were giggly anyway, whatever it was- this is one of our favorite memories from Washington D.C.

In Nummer Acht #8 everything is going to be alright, 2007, van der Werve plods just ahead of a gigantic ice-breaking ship as it crashes through the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland. He seems oblivious the giant craft at his heels. The romantic notion of his isolated and harrowing plight is made vivid by van der Werve’s daring performance. His stride is at once quaint and ambitious, dangerous and hilarious, ridiculous and sublime. He is a stand-in for everyman who presses on despite all peril.
planning
preparing
anticipating
the smell of turkey in the morning
hot coffee beignets and macy's parade
starting with the turkey and ending with santa
like a starting gun and the hoilday season begins
family friends food
board games and football
holding babies
and chasing the little guys
listening to/telling old stories
seeing the faces of those
i love the most
remembering those that are no longer here
their spirits fill the air on this day
