Sculpture
Drove Ryan over to the auto repair shop this morning. He sends his cars to a shop run by the father of a student in one of his science classes. It's a small shop behind the Lowes Theaters in Fresh Pond. Outside the bay doors you can see one of apparently dozens of massive sculptures, all of which are cut from large (this particular sculpture was at least 16ft long by four feet wide) steel sheets; all of which feature designs that would not be out of place in the Watertown Mosque. Mechanic and artist, I’m not sure which activity comes first but he is a very good mechanic. Ryan told me that he holds gallery shows in the car repair shop. I’m going to try and attend one.
Traffic was hideous on the return from the shop. 30 minutes for two miles of driving. I'd like to see more people commute to work on horseback, if only to see the office go quiet when Bonnie from accounting steps through the double doors, posture slung low at the hips, boots grinding into the wood floor in front of the reception desk.
Back in the office today, a copy of the McKinsey Quarterly report on China to my left. I’ve been given an opportunity to get back into China studies (well, somewhat back, I’m illiterate in Chinese and this presents a very solid bar to expertise) which is something that I have not thought about since college.
