Rochester trip (part 2)

Above: our concert in Rochester. Many thanks to those who came out to hear us, and the generosity of those who put money in the hat that went around. We also sold a bunch of CDs and even a couple of songbooks. In the end, we went home with more money than we expected...a nice surprise.

Most of today's Blatherphotos were taken by my friend Walter. The photo above was taken in the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. With just our shadows, we could push around those blocks on the screen; the effect was pretty mesmerizing.

Thanks SO much to John for taking us to this amazing place! It was definitely one of the highlights of my weekend. I envy Joanne for having a job there. If I lived in the area, I'd probably be getting a membership and spending way too much time playing with the toys.

Quotes about play were all over the museum's walls, and I especially loved the one above. This is SO true, isn't it? I've met many grown-ups who don't know how to play anymore, which is sad. Or young people who are too busy trying to be cool that they forget how to play, at least until they're older and finally quit worrying so much about how they look to others.



Some people would wander through the Museum of Play and think of it only as a place for children. Not my friends. :-) (see photo above!)

Speaking of kids, how many of you out there recognize the setting below?

Allison has some great photos from the museum in Rochester Flickr set including this one from a perspective illusion exhibit where Walter is so small compared to me that it looks as if I could probably lift that little guy up and twirl him around my head a few times.



More tomorrow...
