First snow
Last Friday, it snowed properly for the first time. At least the first time this year, the first time since we moved to Brooklyn, and the first time ever for B. He’s still too little to make much of it, but it was fun taking him in to Prospect Park to stomp around a little, and to see the sledding and cross country skiers.
By the next day, the snow piled up on our neighbor’s wooden arbor had melted in to these swirling shapes, it looked like people dancing.
The snow’s gone for the most part, now it’s just frozen mud and slush puddles.
The holidays were more lonely than we had planned, but we got to have Christmas dinner with a new neighbor/friend. That was unexpected, and special, especially considering the circumstances.
B’s still out of daycare because of Omicron. It’s wonderful to spend all this time with him, but in terms of the personal and work plans I had for 2022, it’s pretty stressful.

Pancakes at Cafe Luluc
Just had pancakes at Cafe Luluc with friends. Best pancakes I’ve ever had, stacked two high and the size of a dinner plate topped with butter, maple syrup, and berries. Twin Peaks-worthy. Need to figure out how to make these at home. I think it was a buttermilk batter, and I think they used ample butter to fry the cakes.

Judd essay on function v. art
I’ll be your interface* is a recently-closed (shame!) exhibition organised by Roxana Fabius at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The exhibition featured recent work by Dexter Sinister and objects from the Marieluise Hessel Collection.
There was a talk in March at the Judd Foundation (NYC) about work that doesn’t make a “crisp distinction” between function and art, sounded interesting (see more on Dexter Sinister).
Required further reading since I missed the talk: Donald Judd, It’s Hard to Find a Good Lamp, 1993.
