Art, Party, AHS Animal Walk
I went to an MFA showing and to a party afterwards and had a wunderbar time.
The art showing was cool! There was some very interesting pieces. My favorites: anachronistic and highly-crafted Early Modern-like machines (brass, mechanistic, pre-industrial, inventive), etheral and beautiful silk-gauze prints, and large ceramics that looked like ancient sea creatures. It was also rewarding to meet a fellow CVT volunteer, and see so many old friends.
The party was so much fun. Tons of great conversations, silliness, beer and interesting people (especially the smart psychiatrist with the beautiful eyes). A lot of fun. I miss parties! Bars and especially nightclubs don't do it for me.

The next morning I did the Animal Humane Society's Walk for Animals, which I have done for a few years now with my niece. We went again with her friend, another niece and her friend, my brother and his pal and his kids.
The Walk was great! There were thousands of people with their animals, and everyone--human dog, cat, bird, bunny, gerbil and other--in such a great mood. There was this glowing field of love in the air, I swear it. You couldn't help but be affected, succumbing to certain happiness.
And I am such a lover of dogs. I wanted to take them all home: the wee babies and the old ones of years, the little vocal neurotics and the happy pot-head frisbee catchers.
My favorite new friend was a Blue Heeler-Lab mix who was about 5 months old. He was so sweet; adorable, soft, mellow, and so sweet. I failed to get a picture of him as I was too busy holding and petting him. But he looks something like this little guy (though my new friend was more Lab in color and a few months older:
My other new friend was a Pug puppy of surpassing sweetness and affection named Paka, which is Swahili for "cat" I guess. Jambo Paka!
