Updating, planning the new website, Nashville doctor visit, more

As soon as I finish all my blogs today, I'm getting ready for my new website.
Brain Gears - from the free Clikr website.












Planning happens first. The new website is going to be called The Outdoor Journey. Check back later for more details, or join the Yahoo Outdoor Journey Group below. This is a group writing fun Outdoor Journeys for Girl Scout troops and talking about camping too.

We have the radio on today, and it's fun to hear new music. WKU's Barren River Breakdown has been on, and has been playing many great songs. It's a relaxing day, and I hope it is for you, too.

Looking for Bowling Green, Kentucky events? Just click here on My Events Calendar (also located above)  to see those. I have made a special page here so you can check dates and things to do.  I know, I used to list them, but now I have some more projects, so something had to give.

Pick up a copy of SoKy Happenings too, they have LOTS of things listed for every day.

We've been in Nashville getting Rickey's eye operated on. It all went well. And luckily, his doctor also has an office here in town, so we don't have to go to Nashville again to get it checked on.

Next: updating my calendar, which is full of neat stuff and projects.

What is new with you? Leave a comment. And check the links below for more postings and info.

"Video Presentation and Talk by Berlin Artist Sarah Lüdemann, Monday, 3/25, 6:00pm, University Gallery (FAC 2nd floor). Free and open to the public.  Light refreshments to be served.

Sarah Lüdemann often uses her body and perceived identity to explore psychological states, concepts of self, social roles, religious beliefs and rituals and modes of perception and (re)presentation.
Dichotomies of repetition and stillness, seduction and repulsion, destruction and resurrection give birth to a poetic brutality in Lüdemann’s work. The male/female continuum within her, with regards to social and biological concepts drives Lüdemann to investigate power structures, sexual forces, language as hierachical tool and the dynamics that shape our identities and perceptions. Recently her research has been focused in relations between religion, pornography and pop culture.
Sarah Lüdemann finished an MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins/Byam Shaw in September 2011. In 2009 she was selected for an influential residency with Mona Hatoum, and has been awarded the South Square Trust Award."
