Well my visit with Jen set the tone for the rest of my week and what was a wonderful weekend. Thanks Jen, just seeing you reminded me that I have been extremely abuseful of my artist self. All work and no play makes blair an abysmal artist. You didn't say it in words, but your presence did the trick and I was jolted back into taking my own good advice. To know Jen is to know that whenever in her presence, time and reality bend slightly to reveal wonderful things. Somewhere between experienced wisdom and inspired rant there is a sharpening that makes me better. It is like throwing spaghetti on the ceiling to test if it is al dente, the perfect noodles sticking slightly, although the spaghetti in this instance is ideas and Jen shoots them to the ceiling with a bazooka. Where's my fork?
That was wednesday.
Thursday we went to the first installment in the "must convince young son how blessed he is to go to UMD" campaign. This particular meeting was for faculty and staff of UMD and their potential students. Basically it was an insiders look at the benefits of going there. The great thing was they showed a cool video that sort of put the university experience into a more personal light(not big and scary). It also brought home what a truly great institution it is. Next installation will be an all day campus visit on Nov 11.
