Yesterday with a walk (AFT 2121 retirees chapter) scheduled for 10:45, I hoped to get to the de Young Museum for the Kehinde Wiley Exhibit in time to see it beforehand.

But after the Y and Trader Joe's, I had to stop by Sunset Cleaners on Taraval, where Cindy the seamstress had sewn my musical comedies mask onto the hat I wear to Total SF events.  

She'd sewn it on upside down, so I had to go back in and arrange to have it redone before going home to bathe and wash the head of hear that goes underneath it.

So...by the time I got to the de Young Museum (#28 to Fulton and a walk down JFK Promenade from there), I had only enough time to check in, find out that my membership was good only until July, renew, get earphones with Kehinde's own commentary, and then see a few of his paintings and sculptures before heading out to the 15 minute walk to Stow Lake.

When I got there, one of our members hadn't arrived, and we wound up waiting 45 minutes for her!  The very vibrant 97-year-old among us was not pleased either.  I enjoyed the extra time talking with her and others, but I wish I hadn't hurried so much to get there in time.

I'll go back to the exhibit of Kehinde Wiley's art and also see Ansel Adams in Our Time.

The walk was one I have often taken but continue to enjoy.  I was in Golden Gate Park on Saturday for the Vegan Earth Day March, but I didn't get to Stow Lake, where yellow irises were in abundance.
