Saturday's Maverick

Great concert in that wonderful auditorium. Oh those marvelous windows. The violinist Lara St. John is so talented, but does she need to call herself "Shiksa?" Where I come from it is an insulting term as any other ethnic put down.

A grownup facing the IPHone.

Instagram kept on disappearing! Settings didn't"t work, but I was busy. I had not worked in porcelain in years And there I was pinching, coiling and tapping, looking, looking, looking. It felt like mud, yet slowly a form was beginning to take shape. Sometimes the body remembers. I used to throw this stuff on the potters wheel. Instagram and settings are still off and I am visiting the zoo known as Apple today.

New Title I miss Nora Ephron

Who keeps me company at night when I am up with my husband quietly sleeping nearby, this author's funny, sad humor. She sounds so much how I feel if I only had her way with words. So she keeps me company when the reality of what is going on disturbs me.

An Interesting Film

I remember a family member asking me if the play "The Fiddler on the Roof" would be interesting for a non-Jew. My response to that question would also apply to the current film "Menasche," is a "yes." There is a universality to the recent film about a widowed father who chafes under the restrictions of his orthodox community rule, that his son can live with him only if he remarries. It shows the great love between father and son and also how even within this restrictive world there is a humanity and freedom to alter how the rules are implemented to fit the needs of the individuals. This film offers a warm insight into a world not always open to strangers.
