Playdate at the ICA in Boston

The last Saturday of the month is playdate day at the ICA, which means adults with a kid get in free. We chugged into town in a light snow (Yay for snow!) and used our very small houseguest as entry to the museum which just opened this month. It is awesome, and it was so cool to see adults, kids, old, young, gay, straight, transgendered and pretty much EVERYONE enjoying the kids activities, the exhibits and the view across the harbor. It's awesome!

Nowadays at classical concerts and the theater it's the exception rather than the rule to find lots of young folks in the audience, but this is not true at museums and certainly not at the ICA. I liked it a lot. The young lady enjoyed the big mural in the lobby, the eyeballs, the Latin exhibit and the view over the harbor. Chacun a son gout (without various accents).

Thisbe, the younger more sensitive cat has decided that the young guest is not so scary after all, after making an ass of herself by hiding under the bed and spitting when peeked at. Well, a cat's got to do what a cat's got to do.

We had a HEAPING stack of potato pancakes (latkes) tonight, and are topping it off with banana espresso pudding. What better way to maintain weight during the holidays?

Tongue in cheek and in jest,
