Parties and Saturday night

Here is one of the paintings I'm working on as
it appeared a couple of days ago surrounded by the
flowers on our kitchen counter.  Yesterday I went to
a wonderful party for a friend's birthday.  She looked
beautiful and was surrounded by well wishers having
a great time in the party room at her new town house.
The guests were fun and fascinating and the food entirely
too good. I found out out about mirror neurons -- the
tendency of the neurons in our brains to mirror not just
the actions but the brain patterns of those around us, and
a book called Connected by Nicholas Christakis and James
Fowler which explains this idea.

Then today on the science show Quirks and Quarks on CBC
I heard that the speed of light is variable!  The world just
seems to get more and more exciting and mind bending by
the second these days.  So... it is Saturday night and time to
take a break.  I am still making minute changes to my
work for the show that opens next Saturday.  I will give you
all the info tomorrow again.  If you're in town, please drop
over to Studio Vogue next weekend to see what I am sure will
be a really great show.

Have a let's-have-fun-it's-the-weekend day.
