Congratulations to a job well done by Krystalyn Spencer on a wonderful wedding in Johnson, Arkansas. The wedding was held in the underpass of the The Blessings Country Club. The structure seemed to project out from nature allowing for panaramic view of the golf course to the east and a breathe taking sunset to the west. We lodged at Inn at the Mill, which has been around since 1835. It even has a room designed by the famous architect Frank Loyd Wright. The day was perfect for this special gathering of two delightful families and friends. I wish you two the very best and I look forward to your Italy stories.
My mother and I hit the road again. It’s been over a year since we took a road trip together. We crossed the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas for my friend Clint Spencer’s wedding. Arkansas is beauiful with it’s 360 degree view of tree covered hills. The hawks were out in numbers for their daily hunt. We just missed the colorful fall of the leaves. That will have to be another trip.
I will be in my friend Mr. Clint Spencer’s wedding on the 28th. I am copying one of my records in audio format so I can distribute the original copy as a wedding gift. This is the entire album from Mantovani called To Lovers Everywhere U.S.A.
So sit back or continue on with your daily tasks to this album by Mantovani.
I picked up Snow Leopard today from the SoHo Apple Store. Every since I was forced to upgrade to Leopard from Tiger, my system, I call her Loida, would freeze anytime I used Skype video, expose, animated dock, clear screen, etc. I hope this upgrade fixes the problem.
I also had dinner and a Brazilian Portuguese lesson with my patio neighbor Fabio. He’s from Rio de Janiero. Carriocca!
I was riding in the 6 train today, coming home from work and I took a photo of a subway ad put out by PBS. It is for a series on our ancestory called Becoming Human. I love this ad!
Here is the link if you would like to stream Part 1 of the series from your computer. Sorry iPhone users, FlashPlayer required.
I currently bought an iPhone as a birthday gift to myself and it has drastically improved my short-term memory. I say this because I can capture snippets of my life in real-time and recall upon them for reference or just sit back and re-live that moment.
Over the weekend I attended the opera for the first time. I witnessed Don Giovanni. He’s quite the ladies man who will pursue anything with skirt.
I also attended the American Museum of Natural History for a lecture and some documentary films, all of which are part of the issues on climate change.
The keynote speaker for the lecture was Paul T. Miller, aka DJ Spooky. He recentlly traveled to Antarctica to record all the different sounds like ice melting, wind curling around ice structures, and the sounds of, my personal favorite, the Emporer Pengiuns.
The films that I watched were The Last Days of the Shishmaref and Hair India. Both of there films were equally brilliant but the Shishmaref tribe struck a chord with me because these people are Americans who still live off the land as hunters and gathers. Sadly, their land is being consumed by the rising sea levels. The island of Shishmeref is located at the northern most tip of Alaska between the Bering Sea and the Chukchi Sea.
Along my time and journey through life in NYC I will document different events, things that catch my eye, or just something or someone that truely inspires me.
I will use this content in formation of my personal designs. I will begin my Fall 2010 Collection soon!
Thanks for taking the time to share these experiences with me.
Sincerely,
David D’Angelo Caldwell
