Continuing the task list ...

A couple of major accomplishments today: (1) We signed up for the Galapagos-Micchu Picchu "Expedition." I consider this the first of our round-the-world "obligation" to ourselves when I retired. We won't be doing the jaunt on one ticket as earlier fantasized, but we will make excursions to places we wouldn't have visited as part of our regular travel circuit, i.e., across the pond and into the Caribbean. (2) We spent the morning with a kitchen designer starting the process of a fairly major remodel here (Siesta Key). It has come about because we MUST replace the linoleum that must have been in the foyer, kitchen and bathrooms for 40 years. No point in doing the floor if you pan to replace any of the appliances or cabinets within the reasonably near future ... and so the project begins. We won't have any action before we leave other than a professional measurement, but we hope to be ready to install when we next return.

And, as a lesser (?) feat, I completed three boards for my color assignment. There's no point in taking photos because the camera is not faithful to colors and the effects are somewhat light dependent (I need to work in the same light conditions for each part of the assignment. But, because my faithful followers are so curious about my class, here are the details:
1. Making one color look like two. (a) Backgrounds V-P1-1 and O-P1-1, changing color Y-P4-3. (b) Backgrounds Rw-T3 and Bc-T4, changing color M-P3-3.
2. Making two colors look like one. (a) BG-P1-2 on YGw-P1-1 and C-T4 on BG-S2 (BG-P1-2 and C-T4 look (sort of) the same.
Are you wiser now?
