Halloween Nights

......"The  corpse that walks, its solemn line.  The vampire stalks, finds blood to dine.
The werewolf howls at the silver moon. His human form what's showing at noon.
The mummy cries of pain and loss. His wraps that smell of must and moss.
The witch that flies, upon her broom, casting curses and spelling doom".....

One witch - 'Hexe' - is flying all the way to Europe to 'trick or treat' them there!

Ice Hockey with Flair

BC and their Ice hockey teams are known about in Boston. For New England with its tradition of long winters it is a favorite sport .  There are always many supporters for the male team but now there is a growing awareness for the women's team. Long ponytails are often the only 'female' sign when the players move on the ice rink quick and forceful.

Their next game will be October 31 at 7 pm in the Conte Forum on the BC campus. They play against the Friars from Providence.  Go and see for yourself, fill those seats and cheer for the BC hockey players!

No photos please!

The long awaited show of Goya's works opened in the MFA and art critics are full of praise.  Years of curatorial research and preparations resulted in this interesting exhibition.  The guards have the difficult task to catch and inform 'innocent' visitors using their smartphones to take pictures.   I followed the rule and took the above photo of the slide show before entering.

Taking photos in museums has become a distraction from focused looking and examining  the actual art objects as they are.   Next to the exit is the well stocked bookstore with much more then just  the exhibit catalogue and books about Goya.  Will sales rise when no photos are allowed?
