Sandhurst, You needn't remind me of the dreary "angregi mausaum"..you see, the weather here in the Pacific NorthWest is the same...dreary, rainy..and generally rather miserable this time of year!..we just came out of 27 straight days of rain, had a one day break (Sunday: God's day of rest and I guess the rain's too !!:-)) and now it's been another four days of consecutive rainfall...so yes, nothing but forced chirpy attitudes here! The museum in Seattle...there are several that are really nice..The Seattle Art Museum doesn't really have a lot of the master's of contemporary work but the Frye has some brilliant works by Rothko and Kandinsky but, I dare say, nothing to match the brilliance of Tate Modern and Satchi's gallery (it's astounding to me that one man can own the work of so many master's!!) Golf, I too thought of it as an Old Man's game until a friend who "found religion" and turned pro a while back convinced me otherwise...but, I can't swing that iron for tuppence and the farthest the ball "flies" at my attempts is a few inches from my toe!! :-) Cheers,
