Remembering fondly last year’s awesome keg/gun party in the hills, this year I chose a more refined way to celebrate my birthday. Museum Club style. That’s me, Nick, Aunt Margery (also her birthday), Grandma Jean (her birthday observed), and my brother Greg waiting to hear the illustrious Jules Feiffer, cartoonist and children’s book author, speak [...]

Last night it was my pleasure to attend the monthly meeting of the Essex County Ornithological Club held at the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA.

I could not find the membership table inside – the museum is being renovated so is a little disordered but I was very confused that the ticket guy didn’t want my money. So Titian’s naked ladies will have to wait until my next visit. My favorites were the Sargents and his peers- Late 19th Century [...]
