OGT DAILY - Day Sixty Five FRIENDS

So this is one of those days where I literally do not have time to breath.  Always a bad idea, but seriously I have spent the entire evening checking things off the "famous" list after spending the entire day at the gallery hanging a collage show.  Which looks great by the way!   Opening is Sunday 3/27 from 2-5 pm.  Upstream Gallery, 8 Main Street, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.   I and the two other new members of this cooperative gallery were given a last minute show due to a cancellation.   And we all do collage mixed media.  So a very cohesive group, but I had to drag out old work because everything new is still in progress.   Yet these old work are like old friends.  Oldies but goodies; paper weavings and large geometric pastels.   Sometimes things can sit on the shelf and age a bit and still get better.  The same can be said for friends.   It is challenging now with Twitter and Facebook because it seems everyone is your friend, but nothing can replace sitting around and having actual dinner with friends you have known for twenty years of more.  We share so many memories and life experiences that rehashing over wine and a pot of stewed chicken becomes one of the true pleasures of life.  I say this especially because we have lost so many good friends and family this past couple of years.

So hears to my friends!  Thanks for all the meals and memories.
