And it's off to the museum, I go

Betty has decided that the computer is hers this morning so I'm off to the art museum.

Google+ just added communities which makes it about 10X more fun and useful. It's like usenet with pictures. I like it a lot.

Plus you can set up private communities so I set up one for my and my brother. We can chat at leisure, in private about stuff out of the overtly public eye. Nice.

machupicchu and I are going to meet for dinner tonight and then hop on a special boat trip. One of the sightseeing boats does night time Christmas Carol cruises around Elliot Bay. We've always said 'we should do that sometime.' And so tonight we're are going to!

But, first, a little day trip for moi.

Sooooooogggggggy

The trip to the Bellvue art museum was very worth the effort. I was expecting one show and got another. The featured show is about fiber and there was a wonderful variety of all kinds of fiber arts - beautiful and provocative and amazing.

One guy - David K. Chatt - does amazing bead work. This was in the show - all of these items - collected from his father's bedside drawer after his father died are covered in peal seed beads. It is beautiful and amazing to see.

After the museum, I walked across the street to the mall and then remembered why I am not a fan of that place and walked through JCP to get Ellen props and out the door to find the bus. It was, by this time, really raining hard. When I got to the bus shelter I was soaked but the bus was there so it was fine.

It was a fine excursion. And now I have the afternoon to dry out before I leave here about 4:30.
