Thinking deeply

Despite the assurances that it was not so by the museum guards, I’m convinced that Rashid Johnson tinkers with the exhibit. I have visited the Guggenheim 4 times to witness the work. From my p.o.v. there is a change here and there, or something I missed. I could’ve sworn that that vase and those books were in a different place than upon my last survey.

My theory was that there were new pots on display today. The guard said, “no, they’re the same, they’ve grown of course.”

Crossover cookery

Greeks must have meandered into French kitchens in the last half century. Almost every little bakery seems to feature a small burek alongside the croissants.


Veganism, if it is an ism, seems to be going mainstream. My evidence? Tacos with vegan pastor. Likewise, there’s Impossible gone mainstream in the Starbucks breakfast sandwich.

Booming

The Era holds fond memories.

Despite the turmoil we all felt and experienced, the sixties were a time of hope. For many of us, they were a chance to bring the America we loved to its full potential.

Social justice was a goal within reach. Equality and righted wrongs were an ideal to which we could aspire.

The sixties were an opportunity to be our best. Or at least better.
