get your glow on

downtown
for the lighting of the christmas tree.
no, no, no
the lighting of Janet Echelman's sculpture!
Where We Met

but, first,
can't get enough of this....
peek-a-boo, i see you!
i will confess
that my preferred senses
(though i am fond of all of them)
are tactile and visual.
so i LOVE
the marbles in this blue disk
(they move!)
 as those close to me will tell you,
i have to touch EVERYTHING.
even when i'm buying sliced ham at the deli.

and i like to look at things
REALLY CLOSELY
(however, that could be attributed
to my presbyopia, i suppose)
as seen here
 he's such a good interviewer;
i'm such an awkward interviewee.


i love how the sky
matches the sculpture

who's who?  well, that's Janet Echelman second from left, for one thing.
 the sculpture was funded by a regional non-profit,
Adair Armfield, with three grandsons near her on the steps
 the sculpture changes as the sky changes

Echelman speaks...

watching as we count down for the lighting
 countdown
10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1
(with slightly stressful delay
due to the mundane properties of electricity)

everyone was bathed in fuschia
(and, upon further reflection -hahahaha-
i'm interested in WHY this color choice)
including me and Janet Echelman

 gorgeous NIGHT views
why, hello
