Party time!

Friday the wife and I drove over to Berkeley for her senior art show. No, that doesn't mean a series of "Depends" on the wall!

About a dozen seniors from the printing department had works up. The wife, who was exhibiting a book, put it in an enclosed case - discretion being the better part of valor, when there is food and beer about.

Oh yeah - beer. The other seniors being 21-22, they bought two kegs. Of Pabst. Mmmmm. We had to chip in though, so I had a couple of beers anyway. Doesn't make me miss that era of my life.

The show was good. Many different printed works - etchings, handmade paper, lithographs, and more that I don't know the names of. It started slow; but by the time we left at 8:30, there was a good crowd. College students + free beer = attendance.

Favorite Galen conversation from last night:
"How fast is his learning curve?"
"He's half Siamese."
"Oh. Never mind."

He's now learned how to open cabinets... by opening them properly. Or at least as properly as someone with no thumbs can - he meerkats up and hooks his paws in the handles.

Sigh. Maybe we need to install toddler/earthquake-proofing bits.
