Rest day in Cleveland
Went to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am not a big music buff. I came into my marriage owning 3 albums, one of which was Israeli Polka songs (really). Yet I found the museum fascinating. Spent 3 hours there. Then walked around Cleveland and University Circle.
And since Larry B did not believe I had lunch with Lebron, I have included a selfie of me and him in front of the arena. He is tall so the cropping might not be perfect!
Tomorrow I start my final push through PA. People say the Allegheny Mtns are terrible. Worse than the Rockies because of how steep the roads are. We shall see!
Last night my high school friend, Jane, gave me a tour of what she designed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. For background, Jane had to drop out of Tulane University for financial reasons. A year later she got a job at MIT and started taking classes there. Then she transferred to a new job at Columbia where she took more classes and then graduated from there with a degree in Applied Math and Architecture. She then had various jobs in different data and computer management roles. But her passion has always been art. She was offered an incredible opportunity a few years ago to head up the technology side of the Cleveland Museum of Art. They had a blank chalk board and let Jane redesign how people can experience art within the museum. BTW, the Cleveland Museum of Art is a huge institution with incredible collections. Jane, as Chief Information Officer created Gallery One. I can’t even begin to explain all the interactivity that Gallery One intertwined throughout the museum. All I have to say is that all the top museums are either flying in to see her program, or they are flying Jane around the world to speak to them.
Follow your passion!
Love the “follow your passion”. Hmmmm
A well deserved day off……..but don’t tell me you’re getting worried about the Pocono Mts.
Tail winds and sunshine the rest of the way.
Good Luck on the mountains! Congrats Jane on following your dreams!
Are the Village People enshrined? Cause I know you saw them around 1992. (Please tell me you remember what I’m talking about). Good luck in PA!
Love seeing you two EHS “kids” together!
You are cranking. Sounds like you are making amazing time! Nice beard!
Ken wow what a difference from where you have been, starting to look like NY
I think I might want to visit that museum – it looks really cool. I don’t know how to get to Cleveland, though. Can you come pick me up? I can ride on the handlebars…..
Hi Ken,
Incredible pace that you’re maintaining crossing the US. Fortunately, you need not have to go through any US Customs or INS checkpoints as with that beard you might be there for awhile. Stay safe and may all the upcoming mountain roads be downhill with the wind at your back –
Best regards,
Jerry
