coming. maybe already here.
The trees have been leafless for a bit now.
Ice started forming on the river this week. The bluffs along the Mississippi are full of icicles and frozen waterfalls.
Yesterday, I traded my fall coat (good to about 20F) for the Serious Winter Coat. And I needed a hat for my 8:45 class.
6 to 10 inches of snow are forecast for Saturday. We made the grocery run today. Tomorrow I will breakfast with a friend, run by the bookstore, and then bang out a final 1200 words for InaDWriMo. In the afternoon, Mister Husband and I will hit the O'Keeffe exhibit, then go to the department colloquium and drink a beer with the grad student mafia, and then we are in for the weekend.
I’m looking forward to a few days of hibernation.

I've seen the O'Keeffe show twice now. what did you think? While I was there the second time, I overheard some guy declaring to his friend, "It's an eyeball! They can write twenty pages about it, and it will still be an eyeball!" I guess he wasn't big on the theme of the show.

Sadly, we managed to do everything on the list except the O'Keeffe show. (Long, stupid story about why that didn't happen.) We'll go next week, though.
We did hit the Kahlo show this week. I've seen very few Kahlos IRL before, even though I've loved her work since I was about 15. I really expected to be a little transformed by it (which is how the Arbus show affected me last year), but that didn't happen. I need to write about what did happen, though. (So does Mister Husband.)
I must say, I was disappointed by the fact that a few major pieces were missing -- particularly My Birth. The last I heard, they were still part of the Ciccone private collection. Any idea if that’s still the case?
