Right big toe got sore in the night, onset of typical gout. At 8:50 I went down and checked and the zoom rooms were still inop. Gerald of IT wasn’t in yet, so I wrote him an email while waiting for the bus to load. That would be the bus to the De Young museum to see the De Young Open exhibit, where the museum invites every artist in the 9 Bay Area counties to submit a work. They ended up hanging over 800 pieces around 4 big rooms. Here’s about 1/4 of it,
Some striking things. I had to admire this photograph.
According to the notes in the program, the photographer was planning to shoot something in the opposite direction, when he turned around to look toward the bridge and the Marin hills and saw this sun effect, and the pelicans just happened to fly by. A once in a lifetime shot.
I had stupidly not grabbed a couple of ibuprofen before leaving, so it was quite painful walking around the museum.
Anyway, back to CH about 2:30 and the zoom rooms have been fixed, thank you Gerald. Practice guitar, take ibuprofen, have a nap, and it’s time to join the carpool to the SWBB game, v. Portland. Not a contest, really. Stanford jumped out to a 20 point lead early. Then slowed down and Portland came within 10 points, before Stanford woke up and ran their lead out to 30 points again.
