Fun and not so fun things

[fabrisse]

I went out and had a good time yesterday.

Sadly, sunny day with lots of snow ended up equaling migraine later in the evening and today.

However, up until the migraine, it was a great day.

I went to the Hirshhorn Museum which is the Modern Art branch of the Smithsonian. On a day when the world was black, white, or brownish-grey, it was nice to go to an exhibit of Josef Albers work. He did a great deal with color theory.

Later, I rested in the room that has a great view of the National Mall. I was treated to a seven-year old boy who looked at one of the works in the room and said, "That painting. Is. Awesome!" It wasn't a painting I particularly liked, but it was so wonderful to have a child express an opinion.

The girls I tutor just shrug alot.

Do you remember what painting he thought was Awesome?

I don't know if the shrugging is because their feelings are so confused, or because they don't want to tell *you*.

So sorry you got a migraine. Bright light on white has triggered them in me on a couple of occasions too. I hope you feel better today.

That must be so maddening about the girls who don't venture opinions. I hope they have them secretly and just don't want to air them for whatever reason.
