I spend yesterday afternoon at an open studio session at the local art center. Drawing is still illusive, but I feel that it is something that I need to do. I almost didn’t go, but then decided that it was good to get out of the comfort zone for a while.

Went to Mass MoCA again. Always a collection of interesting and sometimes challenging exhibits.
As part of this trip, we spent a night at the Porches Inn at Mass MoCA. The Porches is a quirky and wonderful place – strong on design. It is post-industrial, but stops short of mid-century modern; a hipster version of roadside America in the post-war era.

Spent Holy Saturday with family in the Bronx’s own “Little Italy”. As good a place as any to spend Holy Saturday. Arthur Avenue seems a bit frozen in time – I wonder how long it will stay that way. It is also pretty much untouched by current gastronomic trends, but you probably won’t find a better Sunday gravy anywhere.
