Early Sunday flight

Tomorrow morning I'm taking the 6.55 am flight to Newark, NJ. I need to be in New Jersey Monday morning early, and the early flight on Sunday is a lot cheaper than other flights, later in the day.

I'll meet up with colleagues in the evening, but I have the entire day for myself, so I hope to go back to the Metropolitan, and in the afternoon visit the Frick Collection.

Walk in the park

We walked in the Eno River Park this afternoon; very refreshing.

On the way back we got somewhat lost and made a nice trip through the country side north of Durham. We found a Starbucks and we had a good time. Now getting ready for a Christmas party.

Christmas music 2008

Last year Kiss FM, one of the stations that we have programmed in the car, started broadcasting Christmas music mid-November.

This year the station changed format and no longer has the non-stop Christmas music, but I found another station that provides "holidays immersion", at 99.5 FM.

Coming soon: "Pride of place: Dutch cityscapes of the Golden Age"

Yesterday when we were in the National Gallery of Art, I was wondering where the "View of Haarlem" was that I saw there two years ago.

It turns out that there is a very exiting exhibition now in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, "Pride of place: Dutch cityscapes of the Golden Age". The best news is that the exhibition will be on display in the National Gallery from February 2009. The Jan Lieven exhibition by the way, will move on to the Milwaukee Art Museum, and later in 2009 to the Netherlands.

I'm really looking forward to see the Dutch Cityscapes exhibition. It will even include the famous "View of Delft" by Vermeer, that Sasha and I saw when we visited the Mauritshuis in The Hague four years ago.

A healthy lunch

Tonight we went for our first sub-freezing run of this year. It was cold, but with long sleeves and a cap it wasn't too bad.
