Actually ... almost … nothing.
Work days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday.
Friday, J. had her haircut done (it is expensive, at
least I do not need any haircuts). Some errands and practical monkey
business.
Wednesday, we drove to Taliesin West,
http://www.franklloydwright.org/about/TaliesinWestTours.html,
which is just past Scottsdale, and used to be summer home of
architect Wright. It was pretty expensive to take a tour but we
thought that there was not so many summer homes of a famous
architect. The guide (older retired lady) was pretty entertaining and
had more than enough of interesting things to say. So it was very
nice. There was not so much to see (grounds, storage facility,
personal living room, bedroom, dinner theater). Apparently the
foundation also operates as a college for architects (there are about
35 students) and they do live and learn on the grounds of Taliesin
West during winter. There are also architects living there (Wright
had bunch of young architects living there where he was alive and
presented it as an apprentice program). As I said, there was a lot of
interesting stuff to learn.
We are getting really close to the middle of our Phoenix assignment.
So far it has been working out really well. J.'s job is good and she
really likes it. We have good apartment as well. The weather is
incredibly nice. There is plenty of places to visit and stuff to do
around Phoenix. So … life is good. Also … time is flying. One
funny (sort of interesting) thing, there is a grocery store Fry's in
Scottsdale and they have two rows of covered parking and wine tasting
section within the store. Oh well ...
