Love Art in Calgary: Lunch Shared at the Danish Canadian Club

I think one of the great times shared during the Love Art in Calgary tours comes at lunch time when we combine food, drink and warm conversation. We have a chance to react to the morning happenings and learn about one another’s interests apart from the tours.

Tour #7 allowed for the convenient lunch stop at the Danish Canadian Club, the Mermaid Inn.

Blue Cheese Platter…we discovered that all participants in Tour #7 like blue cheese! Unusual?

I began writing this post at 3:33.  Cool.

I heated up a bowl of cream of mushroom soup for lunch.  It was prepared the way Mom used to do it (apart from the addition of a can of water) when we were just wee things.  I sat at the large feast table by myself and pretty much ruminated the soup away, with thoughts of Mom and her love and care of me.

Painting is a huge work-out, the way I look at it.

I hesitated to go down to the Gorilla House because of the cold.  In the end, I made the trip out of commitment to myself and my friends who also attend every week.  It has something to do with the practice…the community…and the brain gym.

All of the driving concepts had to do with Mathematics… Game Theory and Deformation Theory (something to do with P).  HUH?    Math was a struggle for me in school…a struggle last night as well.  In the end, I thought simply of the relationship of a mother to her child.  Is that in any way mathematical?  Thanks to Rich for picking this one up at auction.  I was glad to see you, Angie. Be better. Thanks, Bruce, for the beverage.  Congratulations, Jess, on getting those cards done!

P1140177I finished writing this at 4:03…and that, with a consoling conversation with daughter.  I love you, Erin.
