I like this drive. I am going to do it again tomorrow to go see my mother and to celebrate her birthday that was just yesterday. I am glad that I called you briefly yesterday morning Mom to wish you Happy Birthday over the phone. That pleases me. You sounded great and it's always nice to hear your voice and at least one of your many stories. I'm glad that you share so many with me. They make me think and realize and sometimes remember something that is often enriching to me. Thanks for always sharing Mom.
Tomorrow is Monday, March 12th, 2012 and it's my day-off and I am thrilled for that as it promises to be as beautiful as it is today. I'm going upstairs to change and get more comfortable before heading back out to do some more cutting back of our bountiful ornamental grass in our back yard. It needs it : it grows with a wildfire vengeance, really it does.
This building here to the right which might be the Bank Of America building is one of my very favorite sights that I see each time that I drive up to see my mother. It's followed by the sight to my left of the American flag that I have included one picture of here. You can see more of those pictures and read that blog, too if you would like. I just posted here on this site as well. Something about this building simply speaks volumes to me.
I guess it may be the white thrip that cuts through the building at a diagonal like swiping a credit card through the machine to read the numbers : swift and slick and pretty efficient overall. I like thinking to myself how the building must look inside? I think that the strip also cuts through the building and then I realize that it's probably just cosmetic and on the outside of the building.
However, this idea of having the strip follow through inside of the building really does fascinate me and make me thing of then how all the spaces would be divided and how unique each and every space would be? That intrigues me, really it does. How would you play with those shapes and how would you make it work and be a success and not just weird and inefficient and a failure? Could it be done? Could it be a grand success? If so why doesn't someone insist upon doing it and making it a true work of art that is still functional, regardless of the cost as it then would become and attraction, an icon, a destination point?
I like thinking like this : this intrigues me and drags me in and starts to absorb my attention and I start to dream a bit, too.
As I said I am driving up to see my mother today and celebrate her birthday and so I will be leaving soon. I will take my camera with me and my Flip camera, too as I like to record these visits and some of her great stories that she tells me as she remembers them. I treasure those and am thrilled to have them Mom and look forward to recording many more with you. It's a treat and a pleasure and I will see you soon!
I will finish this blog later but post it as it is now as I like to have my blogs available even if they are only partially finished as often the pictures speak volumes all by themselves. Cheers at stay-tuned for more. Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
