Tonight our good friend, Jerry Wyman, a photographer, is having an art opening in Berkeley at Book Inc., and then we are going to dinner at Pisanos's restaurant. I've never been there, but I'll do a short review on Monday of how we liked it. It's some dribble to write about.
This weekend will be more of the usual. Running around on wheels and heels, be it the case, two or 4. I'm going to take a shot at climbing Lincoln Ave. hill today, but on Geri's 21 speed. We'll see. It's supposed to be 70 degrees here in Oakland today.
Hope you are all having fun in the snow back east. If you want to know why I live out West I think the contrast between the weather back there today, and the climate here today says it all.
We saw the Martin Scorsese movie Wolf of Wall Street on new year's day. If you have no idea that your money is being managed by greedy white collar scumbags who have absolutely no conscious or moral compass, you should see this film. The cinematography, the soundtrack, and the editing are amazing even if the outcome is rather predictable. Leonardo is just brilliant.
It is educational if you are naive enough to believe that the people who are in control of these institutions are anything but incompetent
criminals in $2,000.00 suits. If you somehow trust these people you need to check your brain for grey matter, or lack of it. Why anyone would aspire to work in the world that is portrayed in this film is beyond me. America's finest?
Last but not least, there is a great article in the latest New Yorker about an artist named Salim Muslim, who goes by the street name of Storyboard P. He is a street dancer and choreographer. Read the article and watch the videos/ interviews of him on YouTube. This cat really is one of America's finest. Wow.
That's it for this week.
Write back at you on Monday.
Life is what happens in between meals.
Peace,
Make Food/Not War
