Fall                                                                          Harvest Moon

Breakfast at Keys.  In Spring Lake Park.  Mark (soon t0 be Mario again) Odegard and I discussed the Hack Factory, which sounds very cool.  The Twin Cities manifestation of the Geekworld maker movement.  We also talked about Bruce Dayton and his astonishing collection of art–in his home.  Plus the Matisse prints hung at the Marsh.  Ode saw both on Saturday.  He and Elizabeth are getting cranked up for four months in California, house sitting in the mountains and tending 10 chickens.

Casual time with friends is not so easy to accomplish when living in the ex-burbs and I look forward each opportunity.  I’ll see Tom Byfield this Thursday for lunch before the lecture for Audacious Eye, Japanese material part of an entire collection recently donated to the MIA.   Next week Allison Thiel at the Walker.

These threads of connection constitute a significant part of the living matter out of which the weave of our lives forms its fabric.
