Gallery show and Suits

Since the cleaners were here this morning, I wasn't. I went to one library to return Season Eight of Suits, about which read on, and then to the local library to  see the current group show, and a very strong one it is. I wrote a suitably excited comment in the visitor's book.

as usual the bouncing reflections are a picture taking  issue, and I tried to include the artists' names and statements. I have some real favorites here but I refrained from only picturing them and included all the work I thought was very good.

What a range of concepts, materials and approaches! If you're anywhere near, before the end of the month, stop in, enjoy, comment in the guestbook.

While I was there, now that the table is cleared because the wall hanging is advancing, I stopped to check out my first puzzle in ages. There was some discussion in David Gascoigne's blog about a new book of research and observation of fish, so I guess I was in the mood for this

And Rose, look at this, obviously very popular as a public puzzle, I saw someone being hauled away while I was there, not wanting to stop puzzling,

I think this is one of our donations, yes? If so, thank you, you're making puzzlers happy.

About Suits, I'm up to the last, ninth,  season now, and at this point, with some technical legal assistance, I could probably write it! I love the stage business, how the elevator plays a part, someone triumphantly, dramatically, glaring out as the doors close, leaving the other person all down and discombobulated. 

Likewise the walking out of the two person confrontation/meeting, juuust almost not quite brushing the other person's shoulder. Leaving the other person dismayed, bothered, bewildered.

And, best of all, slapping down a thin folder,on the opponent's desk and totally winning the day. I'd love to have situations where that's all it takes!

And how does a person get to come to work empty handed? Not more than a messenger bag, some not even that. 

I have never managed to have a job where I could move around with fewer than two paper-stuffed bags, usually because of multiple  simultaneous projects in the days before handheld devices. And that's not even counting my art and teaching and public broadcasting life,  all of which which required in addition a car load of equipment.

I will have to see what can follow Suits, it's been like a part time job.

Speaking of which, yet another doctor verdict, from the  skin lady: it's fine, no problems, go away till next year, wheeee!!

Happy day everyone, puzzle on!
