"Blokes" and other recent funnies

Well in the past couple of weeks my life has started to turn itself around. I have had more energy, I think I'm getting a handle on the water retention problem and I've started getting out and LIVING life instead of watching life.

Two weeks ago Christy and I went to Muskegon to the art museum and saw a fabulous display of work by Robert Blake (I think). He molds glass into usual shapes like Nuts, Bolts, Silverware, stuff like that only they are bigger than people. It was fascinating. They also had a section of the museum set aside for a grouping of self portraits. They were not traditional self portraits, the artist could use anything they wanted to represent themselves. They had multi-media pieces, abstract art, I could go on and on. It was fantastic! I was completely moved by this exhibit.

On our way back we discovered that the police taped section we had seen earlier was actually a murder investigation. We didn't slow down to gawk, but that definitely turned our heads figuratively.

Then we stopped at Outback Restaurant for dinner and I mistook "Blokes" and walked into the men's bathroom. There was no one in there and for a moment I was very confused as to what was hanging on the wall (urinals). At that realization I quickly left and was more embarassed than ever in my life.

I have gotten a new job, been driving all around Bay City, I have an interview with The Bay Area AIDS Support Information Services on Wednesday to start back volunteering in the HIV/AIDS community again. I'm really enjoying all of this and I hope it continues. WOO HOO!
