1. Playing chess with my mother, she effortlessly beats me three times in a row each time within only a few minutes. One time, she checkmates me with the knight! How do you checkmate with the knight?!
2. Getting a Pelvic exam from J O’J- there is a chart behind him that suggests that I am dangerously dehydrated. In his characteristic way, he both chastises me for this and makes it a fun experience.
3. At a resort with Ms. Carley, a vocal teacher I met at a camp last year. She had let me borrow her journal to make some drawings. I drew many conceptual things- including an idea for a sculpture: “the foot” “the step” and two others. When I gave her journal back to her in the dining room of the resort, she asked my artistic opinion. As if I was her art teacher, or a critic, I had already written in responses to her drawings. We had both been reading a book that mentioned feasts, and I told her that all she needed to do to her drawing fo a feast table was to choose a focal point or a shape of focal points, highlight those objects, and take a fine dark pen to the shadow sides of the the many fruits and bowls etc. to define their shadows- and the shadow side only. She had just taken a shower and was drying her hair.
