Michael and Bubbles "I Don't Get It" Art for Almost Wordless Wednesday

Image

During our family's recent visit to the Los Angeles County Art Museum, we not only got to see Jeff Koons' Blue Balloon Dog, but also his "Michael Jackson and Bubbles" sculpture. It's garish, sideshowish, and more than a little sad, kind of like the subject himself, may he RIP. Bubbles too. On that front, it's successful, even with the aversion factor, because it engaged us. Things that make you go hmmm.

And for all your background hunters like me, on the left is Warhol's Campbell Soup painting, to which my kids were like, "What the heck??"

Anything make you go hmmm lately? Thank you so much.

Oh Say Can You See My Blue Balloon Dog?

Image
Lately, I have been as blue as this Jeff Koons balloon dog. Thank goodness for the restorative nature of art.

I have survived a recent yard sale and vow to never do That again. Ever.

I am dealing with another milestone in parenting, our oldest has his drivers learners' permit and is attending drivers education. Drivers education doesn't come with a prescription for the parents, but it should.

Work has been incredibly busy and stressful as I transition patients to a client who did not renew their contract. Saying goodbye to long time patients has been much harder than I anticipated, and the kind things they have said to me are very touching and moving- "I'll never forget you", "You've always been so helpful", "I'll miss talking to you". Very kind things.

This is my 501st post and it's been over a month since I've posted. Can you say Loser? I knew that you could. ;o) Thank you.
