Solving Life And Getting Wet On Whiskey Row

 August 20, 2022

   Kathy Sue jumped in the Flex with me yesterday and we motored up to the Mile High City for a little getaway celebration for the finishing of the Women's book being at the printer. 

   Checked into the historic Hassayampa Inn and walked down to Whiskey Row to meet the Stuart Rosebrook family for dinner at Gato Azul. Big storm blew in on our way there.

   The resulting downpour standed us in the doorway of a store off the plaza, but it was fun to actually be cool and wet for a change after a scorching summer in the Valley. Fifteen minutes later, it finally let up enough that we went thru the swinging doors of the Palace Bar and ran into this rough crowd.

   This morning, we drove out to the Phippen Museum to talk about our November show with Jeannette Holverson and Neal, who will hang the show.

   Have some new work I finished this week but that will be for another show.
