First a shout out to our nephew Dr. Vincent Mariano.. who graduated from medical school today.. Congratulations Vincent.. We’re all really. really proud of you !
Just back from a half day trip up to Montreal to attend our good friend Matt T’s senior show for the Desin Program at Dawsons University.. and a chance to see the Chagall show at the Montreal Museam. Aroudn 1 we met Deb, Hannah, and Ian and jumped in Hannah’s car for the hour an a half ride up to Montreal. We parked the car at Matt’s and went out on foot in the very warm and beautiful day
the show was absolutely amazing.. it tracekd Chagall’s entire life and work.. i think it’s the best single artist show I’ve ever seen. I’ve always loved Chagall’s work.. and love it more now that I’ve seen it all together. I counted 36 pictures of goats in the paintings cermaics. costumes, music, glass and movies.. ..
sadly.. no pictures were allowed at the show.. but I had to grab this one.. my favorite.. Reminds me of Eugene’s Start Wearing Purple
from the museum.. out to St Ambroise for beer in the 80 degree heat . 
perfect time and place to try on everyones sunglasses 
from there to Dawsons to see Matt and his classmates Industrial Design Show.. It was really impressive. We are really poud of Matt.. he’s got an amazing eye for design
