The Four Seasons

Hello everyone,

Today was a very busy day.  I had a presentation in the evening and decided to put off everything until four hours before class.  It was over floor coverings in a commercial space, and I chose to do a child care facility.  Modular floor tiles are easy enough, so it all worked out.  However, I ruined my favorite pair of Nike shorts in the process.  I was gluing down a carpet sample onto my board, and SPLAT!  it landed right on my thigh.  I threw them in the washing machine, but to no avail.

Not to fear, my project was a success.

Here are a couple photos of the sample closet for you all to enjoy.  And a photo of my Saumur 35 sitting atop some sample books.





The semester ends next week, and I can't be happier.  I think next Friday I will be a much happier man.

However, I did watch a great movie on Netflix while I worked on my project.  "The Four Seasons" from 1981.  It has Carol Burnett, Alan Alda- and Francis McDormand!!!!  She is among my top favorite actresses.  I went to see "Friends with Money" back in 2006, and I loved her in it.  She's great.


About the movie:
Three middle-aged wealthy couples take vacations together in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Along the way we are treated to mid-life, marital, parental and other crises.

It truly was a great film, and for having been shot in 1981, I feel as though it is still very relevant to current day issues regarding friends and loved ones. And Carol Burnett is always a pleasure to watch.  Another great part about this movie, is the soundtrack.  It features Vivaldi's Four Seasons.  So that was an added bonus for me since I love those concertos.  And for you vintage Dooney and Bourke lovers- Francis McDormand carries a green toggle bag through the second half of the film.

All-in-all today wasn't a bad day.  I don't have my film class tomorrow, or work, so it will be relatively short.  I have an AutoCad project I need to finish up for next week....

Until next time-
