Summer Sculpture







My latest sculpture - a rendition of Michaelangelo's David. I'm really frusterated, however, because I spent hours agonizing over proportions and trying to perfect each detail .. and when I finished .. I realized that ... well, his "masculinity" (if you know what I mean) was egregiously underemphasized ... (sigh)
I should have had a male give their advice before I let it dry out. ):

Culinary Kids




I was working with one of the kids in the kitchen, when I turned around and saw a camp coordinator's nightmare - Ryan (a Decal cook from UC Berkeley) was holding a gun to a camper's head. My heart started racing as images of angry parents demanding answers and threatening lawsuits swarmed my mind. But, just as I was about to demand that he put the gun down, I heard him solemly inform her, "Your temperature is 99.2. You need to calm down." A wave of relief assuaged my racing heartbeat. I quickly realized that the gun employed not bullets, but rather an ultraviolet ray that measures temperature. Sajdah had been too rowdy and Ryan wanted some quantifiable evidence to prove his point.

A visit to the bay




I took Bethany to the Ferry building in San Francisco - the famer's market is incredible. Olivia, Bethany, and I had a busy weekend between touring Berkeley and exploring SF.
