Deaf Tempest

 Kevin joined us at the opening night of the Deaf Crows / Chrystene Ells production of the Tempest, re-designed for a deaf cast. Some really cool puppets, pantomime, and acrobatics. A very good event. 

Funeral

 

Joanne's father passed away a few days ago. We were at the funeral today. Good service. Church based, but accepting that many people there were not church folk. Michael B suggested that we move from middle pew to a front pew. More respectful. 

Painting

 Background sketches in brown is starting to work better for me. Evokes sepia and memory. 

Dennis Jackson in class

 This week Dennis Jackson came in from Prince Albert to talk to my class about his various animation television shows he has produced. He's also doing some promotion (see hat) on his "Chums" show. Great to catch up. I gave him the nickel tour of the department while he was here, as he's not been on campus much in this century. 

The Long Cleaning

 I think we have quite a few days of cleaning and rearranging coming as the insertion of new furniture has cause a ripple of changes around the house that won't be quickly reconciled. 

Snowman in the sun

 

Lori and Maureen see William's show

 Weather is really cold again, so making it downtown and looking at the Neutral Ground show from even the inside was a major challenge today. Maureen is heading home tomorrow so we bit the bullet and came down. Looked at it more from the inside than the outside though. Sun was still up but not direct. It seems like every time I see this show, the lighting is significantly different. 

New furnature

Moved mom's china cabinet and dining room table into our house today.
