This past weekend while visiting family in New Jersey, Eric and I had the opportunity to visit the Frida Kahlo exihibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I admit that I’m not a big fan of Kahlo’s work. It seems flat and folky on one hand and just bizarre on the other hand. But because she [...]

Well, perhaps “addiction” is a bit of a strong term since I’ve only done this once. However, the soldering class I took last Thursday was quite fun.

One of the [...]
