The Renwick meets Burning Man

Washington, D.C.
Saturday, April 14, 2018

I spent the morning at the Renwick enjoying the art of Burning Man with my three college roommates. Back together again after 30 years!

The whole experience seemed vaguely oxymoronic to have all that crazy, counter-culture stuff there at the lovely, stately Renwick, but there you have it. All kinds of wonderful human-powered vehicles, lights shows, videos of the actual event, and fantastical creations of all kinds.

I will never make it to Burning Man, but I REALLY enjoyed the exhibit--and was inspired, even!

Pink snow

Seattle, Washington
Sunday, April 8, 2018

Today there was time for a long bike ride which included a trip to the top of Queen Anne. I felt amply rewarded for my efforts by this lovely sight near the top of the hill. Everywhere in Seattle there are cars dressed in pink petals--as if they all just came from a wedding.
