Lil E's Tryin' a Hand at School

Lil E starts at the synagogue preschool in the fall. He went to a meet-and-greet picnic today at a local park with a playground. Highlights included:

I was pushing him in the swing. Another Dad came along with his daughter and they started using the swing beside us. After a little time, we introduced ourselves and the one dad said his name was ______. And Lil E, right in time said, "Dad: Jim. Mommy: Karen," as if he was handling the introductions. And not "as if," he was. What a trip!

Then he met these two boys and couldn't get their names out of his head and went all over looking for "J" and "S." Then he'd go play with them.

Oh there was more...but lastly, we're on the way back, walking to the car and he reaches forward to grab the hand of the little girl we were walking out with. (Picture above.)

This kid's alright and he's ready, right? And he ain't even two yet. Go, E! Go, my Lil E...

Naomie Kremer's Ghosts

As part of the Magnes WINDOWS series , the latest installation is by Israeli-born, Berkeley-living artist Naomie Kremer . The WINDOWS series was launched to use the Magnes new facility to positive effect, namely as public art to be viewed at night: to bring more cultural content to downtown Berkeley and in the evenings when the street traffic is less -- to light up the night. Kremer's opening was this evening and we had a really nice turn out, including important local patrons of the arts, collectors etc. Here pictured are Jeff and Jane Green , Penny Cooper (one of the Bay Area's finest collections, focused primarily on women artists with her wife Rena Rosenwasser ). Here Naomie introduces her video piece on Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok .

Why Go to A Conference Anyways?

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews
