Mother's Day

Breakfast for Margaret this morning. Brunch with mom later. With mom, each of us was given our own small pot of coffee. It was only after careful scrutiny that we determined that mine was tea. We played some cards afterwards and had a nice morning. 
 

Basement organizing

 

I moved a number of things around and cleared out some junk so as to create open space for a table (which I'd recently patched the stropped holes on and bought new screws so it would assemble better) and to basically work more easily. A work in progress. 

AGR opening

 Three artist, each addressing concerns about art using funny and conceptual methods, opened at the Art Gallery of Regina today. After filling out some extensive paperwork, we were issued laminated photo ID representing our "artistic licence". 

Retirement supper

 

My department took me (and Margaret and William) out to Crave this evening for a really nice meal and presented me with this very fun and cool Don Hall photograph of a penguin in Humbolt. They did one of those cards with everyone writing in them and I actually felt pretty choked up reading it. 

Hair and Mike Jozsa

I painted a finger puppet that is holding a bead sized camera today. It is supposed to be Margaret's version of William's character Sir Reginald, so I supposed this is a full family collaboration. Mike Jozsa came over and recorded a radio show with William under the misapprehension that it was a show about art and about him. They talked about Mike's art from last night quite a bit. I got my haircut. Coffee at French Press with Kevin later. 
 

Mike Jozsa

Mike Josza (pictured above with Angie Counios) hosted a very successful "soft" opening for his outside the box show this evening. I'm certain there were 40-50 people there, more than many openings for full scale shows I've been at recently. Snacks were superb. His work here is images of monsters carved or drawn onto/into old wood and metal objects. 
 

Star Wars day

 I've not been playing records for the past three or four months, but got the junk cleared away from around the turntable to allow me to put on Meko's cover of the Star Wars theme as well as some proper cuts from the soundtrack album.
