a day in la

mapquest sucks. tried to see a film about garment workers at the la film festival but the directions were wrong and we never found the theater. very frustrating. traffic and road construction on a beautiful day... and my cell phone was dead. so big jeanne and i went to free hand (carol made the documentary "craft in america") to visit and use a parking space... we walked across the street to get lunch and the restaurant had had their liquor license suspended. hell is lunch without wine! nobody at the restaurant seemed to know WHY their license was suspended... we then went to the la county museum of art and walked through the 18th century european permanent collection. we were both amazed by the fine details in some of the small sculptures. one particular alabaster figure group held jeannes attention for some time~ the details of the hair, the beauty of the faces, the reality of the hands... she didnt seem to notice it was a naked man (kronos) eating his children. how la!
