Every museum step should count as two steps

Petah Coyne, "Untitled (Two halves of the same soul)." Random visitor obligingly posed for scale.

As folks say in my neighborhood, I feel some kind of way about the sacrifice of 26 beautiful peacocks to make this installation, but it was definitely breathtaking. As was the rest of the exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' Landmark Building, Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America. I am so intrigued by it that I plan to drop small dollars on an individual membership for the year. It has the advantage of being less than a block from the new Trader Joes with the wider aisles, so I can have a two-fer: spend time in the museum and then go buy cheap eggs.

Today is a day of minimal steps. I have clerical stuff to do all morning, a ZOOM meeting to attend this afternoon, and a quick run to the Triangles to pick up meds in between. Tomorrow looks wet, so it will be my baking-and-laundry day.


STATS: Morning weight: 150.4. Yesterday’s steps: 7,049, every one of them hard-won.
