Journal

     Yesterday I settled down at the computer to read two of the family newsletters of cousin and artist Claudia Bos.  They were hilarious.

     I attended two art exhibitions.  At one of there there was a multitude of school children, happily seated on the floor, drawing with coloured chalks on slates (mini-chalkboards) to their hearts' content.  They were drawing the work of B.C. artist Emily Carr with swirling colours of tree branches in the wind and lights in the sky.

     I learned about Aristarchus, an ancient Greek who lived in the 3rd Century before Christ and said that the earth revolves around the sun, for which view he was reviled.
