I like this photo – it’s so dreamy. It reminds me of a French painting.
Hey, let’s talk about artists, huh? Who’s your favorite artist or painter? Mine is Caspar David Friedrich, a German Romantic landscape painter who favored spooky trees and shipwrecks. I only stumbled across his work because of a screensaver, of all things. It was this image, which I spent years tracking down to find out the artist (this was well before the Internet, kids). (It also didn’t help that it’s titled differently depending on the website.) I finally found it, bought a cheap print and mounted it on foam core. While I usually display it at work I currently don’t have the space. But I just decided that I’m going to make the space because this print makes me super happy.
Last year was the first time we didn’t give out Halloween candy. The neighborhood we’re in doesn’t have a lot of younger children anyway, but two years ago, the majority of the people that came to our door were teenagers without costumes holding gigantic pillowcases who grunt-demanded candy. Forget that.
How about you? Are you staying home and giving out candy this year?
This week is chock-full of amusements: yesterday I met up with the lovely and fun Emily, where we played a million games of Basketball Shootout at Dave & Buster’s.
This weekend Jason & I are going camping after a 2-month hiatus.
And on Saturday we’re going to the State Fair.
What are your plans for Labor Day weekend?
So…the Minnesota Twins seem like they’re not going to win the division this year. I’ll still cheer for them, naturally, but do you guys have any suggestions for other teams I should root for? I’ll take all teams under consideration except for the Yankees and the White Sox.
