Art Dart

Arrived after seven downtown to the first annual Dart for the Arts 5K. Kim, the organizer immediately showed me a map of North Lake City with the route drawn out. She said she needed someone to lead the runners over it. I asked her, if it was marked, she said no, that she had been busy with blood bank. Uh Oh. I made a quick decision, four laps around the lake would be much safer and simpler, even if it would be 3.2 miles, not 3.1.
I did not tell her I used to direct races in the old days. I did well. I recall back when, when I turned over the reigns of the Blue-Grey 10k, that I showed up to see how things were going. They had forgotten the pins for the numbers. I went ballistic. Today, I remained calm and collected. Even though there was absolutely little planning, thankfully, the twenty who walked and ran got through it with a good work-out, a tee and a water bottle for $20.
I re-connected with Ron my photographer friend and all went well. Sometimes, it just isn't worth sweating over details. But....a little planning next year would go a long ways toward tripling the turnout and money raised for the gallery.
From there I went up to Lake Shore where we discharged my mom from the hospital and took her home.
It was a blessing to see her marked improvement and no need for any surgery or rehab nursing home.
She then came to our house for the afternoon where we watched the Preakness horse race, had supper.
We took her back to my sisters around 8PM after Jeopardy.
In the meanwhile, Melanie said that I need to get over the anger and all at everything, that I need to continue on at the gallery. So I suppose I will tell Rex Tuesday, I will go in the new gallery downtown.
Lord knows I am doing nothing else at this time.
Three prints came today I had ordered, odd sizes unfortunately, that I will have to get matted custom! But, I hate to crop my prints. I shoot too close to the corners I suppose and loathe taking anything out. I need, I suppose to learn somehow what aspect ratio to set the camera at so it crops to 8x10 and 11x14 without cutting off the edges.
Two I need for the upcoming June show, ten at least for the gallery. More expense....
