It was an amazing day in Baltimore today. Warm enough to go outside and walk to the Inner Harbor and warm enough to enjoy being near the water. And even though it is just the harbor, it was wonderful. Something about a body of water and my soul.

More snow is on the way, so this was an extra special treat and one I did not squander - my feet can prove it!

Synergy is under way with a grand celebration tonight...and a wonderful opportunity to see and hear Ford & Forlano. Their work is truly amazing and innovative, and always something to behold.

Somethng else to behold tonight will be the CAKE! For the evening's festivities, a cake was ordered, and it is a cake from Charm City Cakes - as in a cake from the "Ace of Cakes" - how cool is that? The request was for a layered cake that incoporates polymer-style work, i.e., caning, scultpure, etc. I can't wait to see it - and taste it!

Another site to behold while in Baltimore is the "American Visionary Museum."

I had been told this was a place "to see" while in town - so I did. I came away not sure what I had seen although knowing it was something special, just something my brain has to still translate.

The work, the buildings, the art of it all - was just amazing...but really so far out of my scope it is hard to translate. I tried earlier and in doing so verbally, left a friend feeling like it was a disappointment - which isn't the case.  It really is a jewel and an amazing accumulation of artful things.

The people who work there were wonderful and engaging, yet leave you alone to explore on your own, at your own pace. I think I could've stayed and studied the work all day, and maybe that would've helped my brain grasp it all better, and faster. Too much to do for that kind of luxury, so it will just have to soak in and let me know when it's ready!

And for now - off to mix and mingle.
