Guardians


Spotted some photographs so stopped serendipitously into Blue Sky - the Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts and was blown away by Andy Freeberg's Guardians, photos of the women who sit in Russian art museums superintending works of art. The photos were tacked unframed to the walls which added to their appeal for MAD. It sort of felt as if each of these women was opening her personal space to me.


Downtown Portland was packed on Saturday morning. Nowhere to eat breakfast without a big long line - something for which MAD has no patience. Firebird Cafe's food trailer was open at the Saturday Market. Breakfast was available there with wonderful coffee - a special blend created and roasted for them. The market stalls were a combination of Berkeley and Adams -Morgan with a little Buffalo thrown in.


Back in the Rose Garden Arena, Purdue beat Washington much to the disappointment of one of the best crowds MAD and MR. MAD have experienced at the NCAA first weekend games. Then Gonzaga beat Western Kentucky with a great ending.

More games tonight. MAD has to go watch.
