Since last winter went so swimmingly, let's try it again! TFS has very graciously opened her home in the west San Fernando Valley to me again. This time her daughter AS (and dog and cat) are there too. Two women + two dogs + two cats = not my usual solitary winter again. Huzzah! Place name links like Los Angeles, CA go to Wikipedia. Place name links like Los Angeles use a local tourism or government website.

Another weekend, more Art. The weather is nominally better than it's been, but not enough for top-down driving about. So, we go to the Nasher Sculpture Center across the street from the Dallas Museum of Art. Admission is $10.

Richard Serra
My Curves Are Not Mad, 1987
I've seen his work at LACMA but it was so big for the room there was no way to capture it. He uses Cor-Ten Steel which forms a stable rusted surface. Amazing how 2-inch plate can be bent into such precise curves.
