At the museum...

My sister and I went to the art museum last night, where we found a representation of MOOD OF THE SEASON, 2...
[“Durga Slaying the orange monster” was the first one]…
A mask of the Yoruba people of Nigeria representing Eshu, the god of Chaos. The dancer wearing it would hit onlookers with a staff... as A Warning!

As the US Coast Guard motto says, Semper Paratus:
Always ready, be PREPARED!

Something's going on with my hair.
The other day I posted that photo of me looking like a model for a knitting magazine;
the next day, a coworker asked (as a compliment), "What have you done to your hair?"; 
and yesterday I saw my sister for the first time in 9 months ago, and she said,
"OMG, you look like Ali McGraw!"

Maybe it's the SWEATER?
I never wear Scandinavian patterns, but I liked this warm cardigan. Thrift, of course.

Also at the museum---inspiration for a print! A woven wool saddle blanket by a Hopi artist, c. 1900,
So simple, so strong!

I'm in a dash--leaving to go to work in 5 minutes, so just one more cheering thought:
The algorithm has determined that I like pithy phrases from physicists. Today it gave me:::

  2. Ha, I was thinking of Ali McGraw too! I think it's the statement eyebrows. The saddle blanket is sort of Art Nouveau feeling? Ceci
