The Art of the Day is: Orchestral Music
Here is yet another plug for live music. I went to hear the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra's Holiday Pop's Concert, and while I am not a big fan of Christmas Carols and schmaltzy arrangements, listening to live music effects me viscerally. My breathing changes with the music, and ensemble playing puts everyone in the room in the same breathing pattern. Powerful stuff.
I also spent time at the Pawtucket Open Studio's Holiday Craft Show, and was seriously inspired, and delighted to find a first rate cut price fabric store (Lorraine Fabric) across the street. This resulted in my playing with fabric like I haven't done in a long time. I am looking forward to getting a new cell phone with a camera, so next time I'm out to dinner and sculpt a dead bunny out of two napkins (they had a rabbit special on the menu, so it seemed appropriate) I'll be able to post a picture.

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your

Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
