Paul Manshipis the sculptor of the Prometheus in front of 30 Rock in Manhattan, the beautiful golden man who floats over the ice rink in winter. Here Diana transforms hunter Actaeon who is just sprouting horns and being harried by his own hounds. We saw the (lifesize-ish) green ones at the Portrait Gallery in November 2025. The mirrored thighs, the yin/yang of movement and the distribution of dogs is beautiful.
I love how only Actaeon touches the ground - with one toe - Diana and the hounds are free of the earth.
I'm learning to play "In Spite of Ourselves" by John Prine. I have trouble with the syncopated rhythm but repetition is helping. Nod wants to learn to sing it together.
I just did pushups for the second time this week. My left hand is twinging and does not appreciate my efforts. I've gotten out for walking or more four evenings in a row. Yesterday I was feeling the sore muscles over my ribs from planks. Glad I can get this movement/work in motion. We may join the Y finally. Tomorrow is the last day of their January fee waiver.
One of my cardio sessions was roller skating at Skate-O-Mania. I'm so happy to have gotten there finally. I emailed and they confirmed that it's a wooden floor. The rental skates were pretty poor. I'll rent a couple more times and then I will feel justified in buying a pair.
K felt over her concussion finally in mid-January. It took me most of the month to get over the humdinger of a cold I started while our KS friends were here. K is currently visiting New Orleans, two of her school friends live there. It's not exactly warm but an improvement over single digits in Chicago.
