I went to the Final Friday event at the Denver Art Museum (the DAM) yesterday evening. It seems like I was just at the previous event, and proves that time is accelerating at an ever increasing rate, something I have suspected ever since I turned 50. It was not as fun an event as in the past - the 7th floor of the North Building (where the photograph gallery is located) is still closed, and the big Fazal Sheikh photography exhibition will not start until next month. The Degas exhibition doesn't start until February. Even the guided tours last night were a bit on the thin side. There was a tour of the European gallery given by two girl scout leaders, allegedly linking the landscapes of Monet with girl scout activities, but the link was tenuous at best. The rest of the museum had the same work that has been on display for months. I am beginning to think the museum blows off the summer months in preparation for the fall, perhaps because they think many people are gone on vacation and won't show up anyway. Oh well, now that time is accelerating, fall and winter will be here before you know it. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
