Posted May 3, 2018 Hello, all! I'm feeling a bit down today and I've found that often times my mood likes to mirror the weather. Any suggestions on activities to do or places to see that might elevate one's spirits a bit? All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thank you. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 3, 2018 I’m sorry the dreary weather has you feeling a bit down, Miss Callie. For me, such weather actually inspires a desire to feel the warmth of a beautiful woman in my arms as we listen to the rain gently falling against the windows. But if you are looking for something beautiful to inspire you, may I suggest the remarkable Edgar Degas exhibition at the Denver Art Museum that runs through the end of May: https://theknow.denverpost.com/2017/04/26/denver-art-museum-degas-exhibit/142420/ ““Degas: A Passion for Perfection” will run Feb. 11-May 28, 2018, following its debut at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, in the U.K. The Denver exhibit will include more than 100 works including paintings, drawings, pastels, etchings, monotypes and sculptures in bronze, ranging from 1855 to 1906, that express Degas’ long-running themes and obsessions.“ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is crowded so beware and also, start from the back if you go. It's worth reading everything. Degas is also incredible at the art museum. And the Art Hotel is close by for a bite to eat and awesome cocktail or glass of wine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I trained my whole childhood to be a ballerina (then I was blessed with my bust and wearing leotards became almost obscene) and I always loved Degas' works. They're so sensual! Thank you so much for informing me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Dead Sea Scrolls planned for tomorrow because I'm an old woman in a young body and never go to the clubs on Friday nights! Maybe we'll have to go to the Blinded by the Light exhibit together. Also: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you so much for informing me! No problem and it's so worth going too! Went to it twice and the ballet art is his best but it really tells his entire life story becoming an artist. And Denver is the only city in the USA to get it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 3, 2018 The rain does tend to make my mood change as well. Of course being on call for a month may be the issue too. I say take Laci to the light show and then go for mexican food and margaritas would brighten your day. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry to hear you've been on call for so long. hopefully you get a break soon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a stuffy history major in college so it's right up my alley! It was pretty cool. Now I need to find time in my schedule to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and watch some IMAX. If you are a Harry Potter fan, they are showing them at the IMAX there too. Can't remember the details, but I read it on their newsletter.
