Vanity Tables in the Ladies Lounge of the Keith Albee.
Okay, I'm sorry about the small size and the ugly watermarks, but it's the only way I felt comfortable sharing these with you, so I wouldn't break the verbal agreement I had with the folks who helped me out & gave me a private viewing of this lovely theatre... that is, the agreement I wouldn't take pictures without people in them, so that they couldn't be sold. So uh.. this is how I chose to do it, and if for some reason it's wrong I guess I can always take them down.
The Keith Albee Theatre was built in 1927-1928 and designed by famed theatre architect, Thomas W. Lamb. It has several sister theatres across the country. The supervising architect was Wilbur A. Meanor. It is on the National Register as part of the downtown historic district.
The Keith Albee is an atmospheric theatre, meaning it's ceiling can imitate the sky and gives the illusion of being outdoors. It's truly a wonderful effect. The theatre is purely magnificent, in good repair, and is the process of full restoration. It was part of the Orpheum circuit.
If you ever have the chance to visit this masterpiece, I highly suggest you do so. As flamboyant as the exterior is, it doesn't give you an inkling of the fabulousness that hides quietly within.
My parents are awesome and finagled us a private tour of the theatre, basically anywhere I wanted to go.
However, when I got there, they told me I couldn't take pictures of the building unless I was in them, because they had a problem with someone who took pictures and sold them on the internet, and didn't give any money to the theatre... so now nobody is allowed to take pictures without a contract, unless they are in the pictures.
This is weird, because when my mom went to see the show, she asked if she could take pictures of the theatre, and they told her it was fine. So, out of respect, if I decide to post those pictures she took, they will be at very tiny resolution so they may not be sold.
dinner with nick at fred 62 in silverlake consisted of me taking pictures of the table for 15 minutes...y'know how it goes. i yelled at him when he picked up his glass and smudged the heart. "YOU BROKE MY HEART!" bahaha, ok, i'm dumb.
some drawings are less satisfying than others right... but i share anyway to show at least that i am trying to practice every day.
on my bedside table is a framed decorative lion i bought at the market, my green tin box where the blue fountain pen is kept , the orange/teal box is a bigger vache qui rit box decorated with art paper and the white box in front is my timer which is one of the best tools to keep around
Lent can fall in either the Fasting Moon or the Seed Moon of the soli-lunar calendar I follow giving it either a stronger emphasis on the self-denial and penance or on the strenghtening of inner life and transformation. This year, blessedly, lent falls squarely in the seed moon. I have no plans to give anything up, just to feel the building of the growth energies as we approach Equinox, Easter and May Day. Since a crescendo has to start with something quiet and still my nature table is reflecting the early season with just a few choice items. The branches have been flowering since I brought them home. Too cool!

Another meeting area in our building that we call The Black Table. It is not separated in a room though, so anyone walking by can hear the bad things you are saying about them. =)
Springdale, Arkansas.
This past weekend, my wife, daughter, and I met my parents for a weekend getaway over at Wagon Wheel Resort on Bull Shoals Lake in northern Arkansas. On the way, I decided we'd have lunch at a place that I've heard dozens of people in the Tulsa area say they've gone to for dinner, called AQ Chicken House....which is easily a 2 1/2 hour drive. After having lunch here, I could easily see why. This food is amazlingly outstanding. The blackberry cobbler a la mode I had was the best ever.
Update 12/7/23: AQ Chicken, sadly, closed its doors earlier this year.
The boss and I decided to modify the workplace table hockey game. Table hockey is definitely more challenging when toilet paper rolls are stuck on the players.
(Please note our interpretation of "shirts" and "skins" ... we thought it was a nice touch).
Nothing like a good ole Summery Shandy beer on the riverfront in downtown Chicago! Unfortunately, I arrived too early and the riverfront establishment hadn't opened yet. Another hour later and these tables were filled.

We hiked Table Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge last Saturday. Most of the trail was a nice peaceful walk through the lush Southwest Washington woods. the last 1.2 miles however were just this side of mountain climbing. I didn't realize it was possible to make a "hiking trail" at quite that steep of an angle (basically at the angle of repose). Although I didn't mind the hike up the steep "trail" the hike down was just plain ridiculous. With the loose gravel trail it was similar to hiking down a trail of banana peals.
Overall, however, it was a great hike with an amazing view and good company. :-)
