Not a good way to start your morning.....

Normally the front entrance of my workplace looks something like this---a beautiful stone lantern surrounded by gardens:

This is what it looked like when I got to work today:

Evidently some people thought it would be fun to spend a Saturday night destroying this and tossing some of it in the pond....

How terrible to go into work and find such vandalism...not a good way to start the week. Hope your day and week get better. Love, Judi

Bummer! Why don't people think before they act?!

I just visited the Arboretum yesterday for the first time with my son (Leo). I don't think we made it all the way over to Japan House, but I thought of you when I saw the sign. (I'm one of your regular local readers--I promise I'm not a stalker!)

Oh no! Is there any way the vandals could be caught? Seriously, some people are just stupid, that's all there is to it.

You work in a Japanese Zen garden?

Geez, people suck

Seriously that makes me physically sick. What is WRONG with people today? Never mind...I know the answer to that. I am sorry.

Unbelievable! Grr.

I'm surprised this didn't make the news. What a shame.

Oh my! I remember going to those gardens a few years back during the summer, and just marveling about how beautiful and serene they were, and .... oh my. What is wrong with people, indeed. I DON'T know the answer to this.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
