There is no greater gift for Maria than taking her to a wonderful art museum like Mass. MoCa in North Adams, Massachusetts. The big storm was just showing up as we left to head home.
I took a headshot of Maria in the museum, a self-portrait of me in a men’s room, and a shot of Maria walking through one of the galleries. I’m just too tired to put up more photos tonight, my apologies. We’re either getting clobbered by a massive Nor’easter tomorrow or will narrowly escape the worst of it. Won’t know until tomorrow.
But we have to be ready for either and this was already a long (and wonderful day). So I’ll put up these three shots tonight and a few more tomorrow. Thanks for coming along. Our new generator is ready and so are we.
(Self Portrait of me and my Leica: I think that is me right now at this point in my life.)
It is a great joy to see Maria in a museum, she is never happier or more at home. She could walk around forever and Mass MoCa is a huge place, perhaps the biggest museum in the country.
Mass MoCa is a great one, we are so lucky to have a museum of this scope and caliber near us. I’ll put up a few more photos tomorrow. Time for rest and some storm preparation.

Jon,
I don’t know if you read about the Arctic Blast which hit Texas last February. There was snow, ice and temps in the teens for five days. The power grid failed. My power stayed on but all the pipes in my house froze and I was without water for 10 days. Plumbers couldn’t get supplies.
I am writing this because that was my brief experience with extreme cold. I live in South Texas where even a freeze makes news. I don’t see how you keep going and getting things done in that kind of weather. People acclimate. It makes for interesting reading.
I did hear about it, Lynn, it sounded awful. I think it’s easier if you deal with it all the time, rather than being shocked by it. THis round is pretty wicked, it’s a different kind of cold, much more penetrating…but we can handle it, and we look forward to Spring.. Glad things are better for you.
