Last night K and I had a quick dinner at Swing Thai and then went to the Madeleine Dodge/Kate McGuiness opening at Spark. As expected, it was a great show. K had a long tough week so we headed home early to watch an episode of American Horror Story on demand. Have you seen American [...]

Art, Guns And A BMW
Posted in art, friends, my life, work on June 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I couldn’t wait for the work day to be over yesterday. I was testing two of the most hellacious software packages and they were driving me nuts. To top it off one set of code was written by a new developer and other was written by Chatty Cathy. I found major issues with each package [...]

K came home last night. He’ll be home until Tuesday. He took a vacation day today. He’s out working in the yard. I’m working from home today. Cindi stayed at our house last night. She flew in from Des Moines last night and arrived at our house around 10:30. She left this morning at six [...]
Art Night

I had a great time gallery hopping last night on Santa Fe. My first stop was Kara’s gallery, Vertigo, where I found William, a friend from the gym, gallery sitting. Kara had a very interesting show but the pieces were expensive. My next stop was Spark to check out the Madeleine Dodge show. Madeleine was [...]
Can I Have Some Tonic With My Gin?

The ARTMA benefit was a lot of fun. It was a sold out event. The place was packed and the art was a higher quality than most charity art auctions. Most of the big name local artists had donated pieces. Cindi donated a monotype so the tickets were comped along with six drink tickets. I [...]
Weekend Summary

Friday night was the highlight of my weekend. I was late for dinner because I had to wait for a train pulling what seemed like two thousand hopper cars full of coal to cross Santa Fe Drive. At dinner Dave told about a job opening at his company. It’s a software testing position. I’ll be [...]

I hope everyone will have a great 2009. I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I’m not quit sure what that means but I’m sure I will figure it out. The gallery party was a lot of fun. I met several local photographers who are exhibiting work in the gallery. The host [...]
A Dose of Reality

Today I went to see my financial planner, S, who manages my IRAs, 401k and one of my brokerage accounts. Clearly this man know what he is doing because the accounts S manages did not fall in value as much as the accounts that he does not manage. It was a dose of reality. Even [...]
The Photo Shoot

The photo shoot was a lot of fun. I always have fun with Jackie. The shoot lasted two days. Tuesday was devoted to test shots and Wednesday was the production shoot. We nearly froze to death on Tuesday evening as we were both fooled by the warm afternoon. A cold front moved in and it [...]
A Good Day

It’s been a good day so far. I met my friend, Jackie (the photographer), down in the ballpark neighborhood this morning. We were meeting with a gallery owner to discuss ways to market Jackie’s work to high-end art collectors and to see what he thought of her new series of work. The meeting turned out better [...]
