Yesterday, they were able to fit me in to see my ophthalmologist for a second post-op consult, and he talked me through my concerns after an eye exam. Anxiety is a nasty little companion, and I’m really grateful to my healthcare providers for their understanding. Healing proceeds.
I’m able to stream shows on my laptop, with brightness lowered and without eyestrain, so I finished the rest of the episodes for the second season of “Dickinson” on Wednesday and Thursday (a character who should be sinister but is fun returned from the first season). Yesterday after the doctor visit, I finished the final season of “Grace and Frankie” which I’d started last year before I got distracted. Earlier today, I watched a documentary called “Inventing David Geffen” from 2012. Now and then, I get reinforcement for directions I take in the Neverending Saga, and this was one of those times.
Sometime in the last week, I was researching the pop artist Peter Max (I have two of his posters from my teen years hanging in the writing sanctuary) when I stumbled across one of his works called “The Different Drummer.” Online, it’s described as a “groundbreaking poster for a hip clothing store on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan frequented by hippies and rock stars at the height of the counterculture zeitgeist in the ’60s. This rare and vintage poster exemplifies this era of the artist’s work where his colorful and euphoric subjects explore fantastical worlds.”
I’m all about drummers and hip clothing stores, so now one of those posters belongs to me. Bottom right in this photo.
ETA ON 6/27: Got to move the “Three Guitars” painting where I wanted it originally thanks to the changes.
