picasso's ladies

while i was in lakeland with the kirby's we spent an afternoon at the polk museum of art. it really is quite an incredible museum for such a small city so i try to visit any time i'm in lakeland. this time it did not disappoint. their current exhibit is Picasso: 25 Years of Edition Ceramics from the Edward Weston Collection. i had no idea that picasso had gotten so interested in ceramics and its neat to see his style and his artistic approach brought to a different medium. there's a great write-up and more photos on their site.

so the sox finally won the world series, and what a decisive win it was. a four-game sweep over the cardinals after a the 7-game trial against the yankees. it almost seems anti-climactic not to have had a longer series, but a sweep certainly puts to rest any doubts about the curse being broken. a friend sent me this article yesterday about the game last night. (i still haven't had a chance to read it, but supposedly it's excellent.)
