- Yen Ching
Mixed research agenda with social, at intercept dinner after driving 11 protracted hours from Toronto. Discussed release of paper on -Calvin Pava's Legacy: Sociotechnical Systems Design for the 'Digital Coal Mines'", and histories leading up to its writing. Spouses had parallel conversation on less academic pursuits. (Yen Ching Restaurant, E. Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN) 20180808 - SystemsThinkingTO
August session as games night, based on success of June episode that was scored highly. Learned that participants enjoy participating, rather than just watching slide presentations and talking heads. Getting up from rows-and-columns tables a good move. (SystemsThinkingTO, LoyaltyOne, King Street East, Toronto, Ontario) 20180823 - Salina
Finishing up construction of the ramp to the deck that wraps around the house. Slope of the terrain means platform on pillars driven into the ground. Potential for parties to watch the sunset, with western exposure. DLH says physical activity helps the thinking for writing. (Salina, Iowa) 20180811 - Salina
Twilight dinner around the fire, visiting with extended family representing three generations of farmers. The meal featured home grown beef, tomatoes, cantaloupe, plus dessert of marshmallows heated over open flames to make smores. Stories of the house where today's elders grew up, and the multiple barns nearby eventually knocked down by storms. (Salina, Iowa) 20180810 - Robarts Library
South-facing view of city, as I'm reading history of science during a slow holiday weekend. "In 1982, [Eric Trist] wanted to create at York University a Centre for Action Learning but faced resistance from the University Senate". Richard Trahair, (2017) "Behavior, Technology, and Organizational Development: Eric Trist and the Tavistock Institute" p. 289. (Robarts Library, 11th floor, University of Toronto). 20180805 - Pritzker Pavilion
Free @TheSeaAndCake show, walking with @redesign around @Millennium_Park after dinner. Families relaxing on blankets on the lawn in back, serious listeners up at the front. A flashback to graduate school days, when I was living carefree in the Chicago area. Natives are friendly. (Pritzker Pavilion, Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois) 20180816 - Peoria Riverfront Museum
Seward Johnson (2014) "Return Visit" 31-foot painted bronze dwarfs spouse referring to her own book. A contemporary common man receives the 1854 Gettysburg Address delivered by Abraham Lincoln in Peoria in 1854, relevant still today. We only had a short visit around the grounds, and the Caterpillar Visitor Center next door, en route from Indianapolis IN to Fairfield IA, not enough time to see the exhibits inside. (Peoria Riverfront Museum, Washington Street, Peoria, Illinois) 20180809 - Maple Leaf Square
Bass booms from Drake concert shook the 24th floor apartment in building next door to the Scotiabank Arena. Our host hasn't heard a concert that loud, before. Brief torrential downpours earlier in the evening subsided, I wished I had biked over instead of taking the streetcar and subway. (Maple Leaf Square, Bremner Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario) 20180821 - Little Tibet
After art show opening, late night dinner in Tibetan restaurant in Parkdale. Momos and okra vegetarian, other dishes with meat spicy. Casual venue after driving through surprisingly heavy traffic on a Thursday night, the rush-hour journey from Riverside to Liberty Village having taken over an hour. (Little Tibet, Queen Street West, Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario) 20180830 - Lake Forest
Shown the 9-foot Bosendorfer grand piano in the home of my master's degree advisor. One of the last instruments built by the Austrian instrument-maker, before the company was acquired by the Japanese. The couple downscaled to an empty-nester home, I had forgotten that DY had seen the big house for 4 kids in 1984, on our original migration driving from Vancouver to Toronto. (Lake Forest, Illinois) 20180815 - James Madison Park
Sunset on Lake Mendota, just north of state capital building. Further along the shore, U. Wisconsin Madison campus, where i attended in an ISSS meeting in 2008. Only a short visit on this routing, to deepen some intuitions on systems knowledge with a retired professor. (James Madison Park, E. Gorham Street, Madison, WI) 20180814 - Edward Gardens
Willet Creek flows south into the Don River West, after the bridges over the lower walks of the park. Absences of one son in California and another on an airplane is okay, they know the course well. (Edward Gardens, Lawrence Avenue East, Don Mills, Ontario) 20180824 - Edward Gardens
The 33rd time we've reconvened at the fountain to renew our marital commitment. CL was thoughtful in giving us flowers to celebrate the occasion. This year, the weather was cool and the fountain was drained. (Edward Gardens, Lawrence Avenue East, Don Mills, Ontario) 20180824 - Dead End Studio
Opening reception installation @PTSDalchemy paintings @playthink "It's All in Your Head". Crystals shaped naturally, responding to emotional impressions focused on raw shapes. Cubism on canvases, exploring brain-body connections. (Dead End Studio, 7 Fraser Avenue, Toronto, Ontario) 20180830 - Dead End Studio
Opening night paintings @playthink installations @PTSDalchemy "It's All in Your Head" show in artists' space in one of the city's last original industrial warehouses. Sun setting outside south-facing windows, view of billboards seen from the Gardiner Expressway. (Dead End Studio, 7 Fraser Avenue, Toronto, Ontario) 20180830
