This morning brought heavy rain, so we went to "Plan B" rather than journey to Pasadena to see the Rose Parade Floats being assembled. Steve did not join us -- it was a workday at Hiperwall. Dog Sandy (not wearing raingear) declined to be photographed with Karen before her morning walk in the rain.
We joined a handful of other people at the 11AM showing of The King's Speech - a powerful film that took me back to all that I remembered hearing about King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) during WWII, and gave me much material to reflect on the emotional closure of an aesthetic experience. Highly recommended by me and others.
Then lunch at Costco, shopping for a few essentials, and a quick visit "to base" to stow the groceries
and time for Jack to print tomorrow's boarding passes.
We ended afternoon at the Irvine Museum, where we immersed
ourselves in All Things Bright& Beautiful -- a special exhibition of California art of the Impressionist Period (1890-1930). Interesting and beautiful, but few emotional moments for me.
And when we returned home, the house was still sparking clean!
