Last night I went with my husband to see Jeff Beck in Oakland at the Fox theatre. This was his dream not mine, but I fell in love. The music was magic, and here is a sample of why.
But the highlight of the evening for me was the bass player, Tal Wilkenfeld. What a joy, what a joy!
From her album Transformation –which I now plan on getting.

Working in Wax
May 3 – June 21, 2009
Opening reception: Wednesday, May 6, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. This technique was notably used in the Fayum mummy portraits from Egypt around 100-300 CE, in the Blachernitissa and other early icons, as well as in many works of 20th-century American artists, including Jasper Johns. This national exhibition, juried by Eileen P. Goldenberg,will feature some of the most renowned artists working in this medium today and will provide an arena for educating other artists and students about the past and possibilities of working in wax.

Never Argue with a Woman April 20, 2009

Emailed from a friend:
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?’ ‘Reading a book,’ she replies, (thinking, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’)
‘You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,’ he informs her.
‘I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading’.
‘Yes, but you have all the equipment . For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and report you”.
‘For reading a book?’ she replies,
‘You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,’ he informs her again.
‘I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading’.
‘Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and report you.’
‘If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,’ says the woman.
‘But I haven’t even touched you,’ says the game warden.
‘That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.’
‘Have a nice day ma’am,’ and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
