Quotidiana: June 2014

Because the ordinary is interesting. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Anita Epstein-Rosen Explains Carmen. Anita, one of the docents, made me nuts because she was so abrasive, hypercritical, and stereotypically New York. I thought it would be fun to try to capture her attitude and temperament in writing. Anita Epstein-Rosen Explains Carmen. So hello and welcome to the lecture on Carmen. My name is Anita Epstein-Rosen. So. Carmen. How many of you have never seen Carmen. The most popular opera in the world? Frankly...

Quotidiana: June 2013
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Thursday, June 13, 2013. And don't put your lips on John the Baptist's head! I've been going to the Santa Fe Opera for 45 years. I've seen 98 different operas and attended 160 performances. I've seen The Magic Flute. 12 times (they haven't gotten it right since 1968). I asked whether it was true that the opera had the prop head of every singer who had sung Jochanaan in Salome. Aubrey Beardley's illustration for Oscar Wilde's play. We had only a couple interactions wit...

Quotidiana: 2013 street fund and books
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2014/01/2013-street-fund-and-books.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Friday, January 10, 2014. 2013 street fund and books. After we closed the bookstore, I began reading for pleasure instead of production. Now that I don't need to keep up with current releases and hot sellers to make informed recommendations to customers, my numbers are down. In 2013, I read 60 books, down from 104 in 2012 and way down from the all-time high of 129 in 2010. In 2013 I read a lot about orphan trains. So Long, See You Tomorrow. By William Maxwell;.

Quotidiana: Flower walk
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2009/08/flower-walk.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Sunday, August 2, 2009. Yesterday Michele and I drove up to the Ski Hill and did a flower walk to Ca. When we got to the parking lot, we saw scores of mountain bikers getting ready for their gnarly rides. (The Chamber of. Here are some images from our walk. Click on the images to enlarge them. The walk through the woods is cool and inviting. From the trail you can see the townsite and the effects of the Cerro Grande Fire. The trail skirts the meadow . . . You also liv...

Quotidiana: Cañada Bonita
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/ca-bonita.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. About the wildflowers along the trail.) But after the fire, I didn't go up there for fear of what I'd see. Thursday I took Frankey up for a walk to see what the fire had done and to play with my new camera, which I'm still getting used to. The trailhead still looks pretty normal. In some places the grasses and weeds almost covered the trail. The wildflowers were growning in profusion on the slopes. And Cañada Bonita was gorgeous, as usual.

Quotidiana: Indian Market 2013
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/indian-market-2013.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Bobbie and I went to Indian Market 2013 last Saturday. We walked right into Tia Sophia's for breakfast, then hit the streets. Naturally, the point is to visit favorite artists and observe the passing scene. Walk along with us (and click on an image for a larger view)! For the finest in footwear, nothing beats the traditional cowboy boot worn without socks for that perfectly chafed look. Nothing says "Indian Market" like loungewear. Professo...

Because the ordinary is interesting. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. So what if the Higgs Boson endows everything with mass. My cellphone makes me invisible! First, Family o' Mine, we upgraded our cellphones to Droid Razr M, so you can stop laughing.). From working in the store, walking on the streets, and generally being in the world, I know that lots of people think being on a cellphone somehow makes them invisible and unhearable, and nowhere was that brought home more than yesterday.

Quotidiana: Do you see what I see?
http://p-doobie-quotidiana.blogspot.com/2013/12/do-you-see-what-i-see.html
Because the ordinary is interesting. Sunday, December 22, 2013. Do you see what I see? Every year the folks down at the corner of Diamond Drive and Sandia Drive have a holiday display of inflatable figures. In the evening, the display is quite festive. Santa is stuck in an igloo. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny crotch. What's the bear sitting on? Nothing says New Mexico Christmas like a saguaro cactus. In the shadowless light of day, the display is of Christmas in Jonestown.
