This past weekend

We went to Body World 2 down in Denver this weekend. It was hard to make the connection that the "exhibit" was in fact real human bodies. We definitely recommend seeing it - but there was an interesting juxtaposition between art and science - the line was definitely blurred. Take, for instance, the fact that each "piece" was titled and signed by the Dr... or shall I say artist? We felt that the missing pieces that may have brought it all together were the brief bios of each person, their age, health condition, cause of death and anything else that may have brought some reminder that these sculpturesque figures were, at one point, living breathing people. There was only one body that still had a face with skin attached... and, in my opinion, it may have been the most effective.

I caught a fish on Friday! Liz got some bites and caught some rocks... and played catch and release with her fly collection. We're learning.

I'm off to bed - the doc awaits tomorrow. I'm also planning a visit to a cardiologist just to be sure that everything is ok with the ticker.
