Friday, the 13th

Oops, hadn't even thought about its being Friday, the 13th. Well, I don't mess with that stuff anyway.

Today was a good Friday. After swimming, I went to Vicki's, and she got two pieces framed for me. One is a 36x24 acrylic on canvas and the other is an acrylic on paper that Sarah picked out for her apartment. The framing, of course, is spectacular. Photos sometime soon, I promise.

One of the new PBS begathon programs this season is another in their series about Blenko Glass. This glass "factory" is the only place still left in the country making blown glass. Our station had a reception tonight prior to the broadcast to welcome Richard Blenko (3rd generation?) and have a display of pieces that will be offered as premiums on the show tonight, plus some that won't be available. He was to sign any that were "bought" by donations. We have visited the Blenko workshop several times, and own several pieces of their glass. We wanted to see what was being offered. We didn't intend to buy anything, but we were surely open to finding something that we couldn't live without. Sorry, girls - we didn't come home with a new piece - but it certainly was some gorgeous stuff. And, BTW, we taped the show so we can watch it later.

Another movie review: We saw another "classic" tonight - Chinatown (Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, 1974). This one is set in the 1930s in Los Angeles, and is about the water wars. It's an excellent movie, and well worth watching. Glad we gave this one a try.

Today's photo is from the rehearsal. To quote one of my favorite lines from "Singin' in the Rain", "Dignity! Always dignity!"
