Back in the Hub of the Universe
Everytime I return to Boston it seems so familiar, yet change is at every turn around every corner. Though this is a rather brief stint I have managed to see the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (for the first time I might add) with my mom, the new ICA with my oldest pal (and Irish step dancer) Jim, and of course my family and a few artist friends like Charlie Kohlhase, Judy Haberl and Ken Beck. It’s been incredible to catch up with my very sweet family one-on-one and indulge in many homemade feasts. Seeing my three year-old niece for the first time since she was only months old has really been special. In all that wonder of walking and talking, the many things that draw the attention of babies fascinates me. It seems she’s endlessly interested in colors and textures and moving graphics. I leave for a four-day sidetrip to Montreal on the morrow.
