Music & Art
My First Visit
Visiting an art museum for the first time is a little unnerving. First you are so stimulated by a highly creative environment that there is a feeling of sensory overload. Then as you proceed around the various rooms in the museum galleries maybe a second or third time, you start to relax and come to ease and then the magic happens. The first art gallery/modern art museum I visited was in San Francisco in 1999. The building was full of visitors gazing at these extraordinary pieces of experimental art and other artworks. There were three large rooms all connected by one exhibit which took everyones attention. The artists had created a dominio effect exhibit which moved items in sequence continuously and mostly everyone stopped to comment, with ooohing and aaahing sounds at the scope of the creation. The rest of the experience was pale in comparison to that one exhibit, and at the time, I could not come to grips

Is Covid Returning?
Throughout the recent weeks it seems that the ugly monster of Covid is hitting the headlines again. With on the ground stories of vacationers sharing insights on what they have heard while out and about this summer, it seems that once again, Covid seems to becoming a reality. News of a 50% rise in cases was reported via Irish news today and that is a cause for concern as we are about to head into the academic / winter season. What will this mean for schools, colleges, office workers? Are we looking at the Work from Home scenario again? From what I have seen and heard and listened to in many a conversation, most individuals need to have the balance of being out and about and the satisfaction for entering a workplace environment to sustain mental and physical health.

More than 1,700 homes and businesses have burned to the ground as well as historic local natural features. President Biden has released federal funds to the localities affected. According to Reuters, 11,000 people have been displaced with the affected area reaching 404 hectares on the island of Maui. As of August 11th, 55 people in the Lahaina area are reported as having perished.
