Darn it all I did so many things last week that it’s hard to keep everything straight. At any rate last Sunday found Kimmy and I in sunny yet cool San Fransisco with nothing to do, So we headed on down to the Museum of Modern Art. Disclaimer! Russell really kind of despises modern art and thinks most of it is crap, he will at any turn belittle, besmirch and bemoan Modern Art ….. wait is bemoan the word I want to use? End Disclaimer So we entered the MoMA and I had high hopes. The entrance is grand and modern and clean and impressive …. all the things that make me happy in my metaphorical architectural pants. After that I was sad … so sad; and it wasn’t because I had to walk up stairs. No most of the paintings were crap, most of the displays were rubish and a lot of the artists need to be beaten with a sack of doorknobs. I understand that modern art is trying to push the envelope but really … can’t you push the envelope and make it good?

Is that too much to ask for?

At least the top floor had a rather freaky catwalk you got to walk over, some interesting sculptures and ….

Waldo!

Finding that sneaky bastard made my day. In fact it gave me the power of 10 Russell’s plus 2. After that I had the power to walk up to China Town; after a brief stop at a nearby park to listen to Salsa music and to watch a few couples dance. Then we went to China Town … well actually we went to Subway because we were hungry and breakfast was really expensive but after Subway I swear we went to China Town.

China Town is a bit different, I’ve been very few places where I was in the minority but for about 8 blocks I was the outsider. A strange and odd experience.
