Paco found a babysitter (his best friend, who Max loves) so both of us went to Barnes & Noble in U-Village last night where Dr. West was appearing! At first Paco was going to go by himself and I was going to stay home with Max. So this was a nice treat! Dr. West was a moving and fascinating speaker. Both Paco and I bought copies of his memoir for signing. I wish I could have recorded his talk. There is a great interview with Dr. West from the Tavis Smiley show http://www.tavissmileyradio.com/guests09/101609/CornelWest.html “Peace is not the absence of conflict. Peace is the presence of justice.”

After several weeks of work on the red velvet scarf and several days of figuring out how the whole “shop” thing works on etsy I listed several items last night. To my astonishment, joy, elation, gratitude and exhilaration someone bought the red scarf today! And it is a special someone – Saturnsglow from 43T! I am pleased with how the finished scarf came out and even more pleased that someone who will cherish it purchased it! And I feel a little more like a “real” artist! Smooches and hugs to you Saturngirl!

Paco bought the Disney movie “UP” on Blu-Ray and we watched it last night. I’d seen it in the theater with my best friend earlier this year; I’d raved about the animation and how fun the movie was. After the little two-minute compressed history of the couple at the beginning Paco turned to me with such a look of betrayal! I had to re-assure him the movie was enjoyable and had a good ending. What a softie :)
