It's Morimoto!Hello dearest jealous peoples!
I am currently in Washington DC, visiting one of my dearest old college buds, Lorin, and hoping to hit some of the free museums (Smithsonian!!! What was the name of the grand-uncle who was the curator? Am I totally mixing up what relation we have to him too?) but.....
I just finished up probably one of my most favorite trips ever being at casa Selby/Linaberg (don't you wish you werg! ah hahhaha...) It was truly great. As Isabelle said, we got to go to a Mets game where they actually won, visited the Koons exhibit at the Met, David and I got dear
, giving Isabelle's free passes to the MoMA (though now she knows she can just flash her Simon&Schuster ID and get in free!) and saw the cool Dali + video exhibit (Spellbound, anyone?) along with fast walkthroughs of the lower 3-4 floors. We agreed we like Picasso the best. He's just all around good. I was also really happy to see some Brancusi, who's probably my famous sculptor (tur?), I think. Fyi, there is a huge hidden "Dancers (?)" of Matisse on the stairwell, around Brancusi's "Fish."We also met up with my friend Laura Corless and her (newly announced!) fiancee' Jay, at an Irish Pub with sawdust on the floor ;) They both work in publishing too, so I was happy to connect them all up.
Isabelle also failed to mention that after the Mets game, we went to a place with Julie called "Barcade" where they had very good high-content beers made locally in Jersey and so forth, but were like Belgium or German beers. It was great! They also had tons of old Arcade games (Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Centipede... Isabelle and I dueled on Tetris)! Fun times, and yay for meeting Julie!
Isabelle is the luckiest girl in the world, I think. I'm so happy she's my seester!

i <3 claire!!!
we did have so much fun together and i am very sad that she is gone :( there is a big parade outside right now because of the all-star game. we got a mass email saying not to throw stuff out of our windows! how exciting!
Grandma's brother, Uncle Gordon (Uncle Henry's middle name), was the head of restoration at the Smithsonian. Meaning he did everything every time that got in something old but not 100%. He was probably our favortie uncle and he would take Uncle H and I to Smithsonian once a year with him to work. What IS that symbol with the 3 in it??
