Summer Waxing Grandchildren Moon
Ruth surprised me after I took a shower this morning. She talked to me while I got ready to go into the MIA. I have psoriasis on my knees. She saw it, and asked what it was. I told her it was a disease. “You’re gonna die!” she said. “Yep.” I said, “But not from this.” “You’re silly, Ruth.” “So are you Grandpop!” We agreed we were both silly.
After that unusual morning conversation, I headed into the MIA for Glenn Keitel’s presentation about public art. He talked about the process of conceiving and selling the book, presenting a book proposal and having the whole process revised after Adventure Press of Cambridge, Minnesota bought it.

He has a website, www.scenefromthesidewalk.com, which has not gone live yet, but it will have printable tours of various public art installations in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. Glenn has a grandfatherly presence and showed in a keen interest in public art that will appeal to children.
The Summer Camp notion added a few more names to the roster and made its first foray into the official side of the MIA with the use of the Friend’s Community Room.
Afterward a few of us ate lunch with Glenn. Tom Byfield bought Glenn and me lunch. Thanks again, Tom.
Home. Nap. Up. Workout. The usual.
