Winter Updates

And we are already at the end of February, the tax season is upon us. :)

Whiskey tastings never disappoint - enjoyable and very informational. The Japanese whiskey tasting was also quite fascinating. I am looking forward to attending another one as soon as an opportunity presents itself. The Discovery second season premiere truly blew my mind. The attendees were never told what to expect, so pretty much everything - reserved theater seating, complimentary concessions, incredible red carpet access, two (!!!) first episodes, gift bag and a signed poster at the end - simply took everyone's breath away. I skipped the RU Geology Museum open house again, looking forward to the NJ Mineral show instead. The Escher Exhibition & Experience thankfully got extended, and I finally got a chance to see it - absolutely loved it! Pretty much all of my favorite pieces (originals!!!) were there!
The convention season is almost here, and I cannot wait. Another exhibition to look out for (which I haven't been able to visit so far because of the crowds) is the Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth at the Morgan Library.
