10P-8, February 1 (2010)

I didn't write a report about this but did send a quick note to a friend at the time.

"Yesterday got a little strange, In a good way, but still confused. I headed for the beach around 1230 but ended up being early, so had to wait. That was fine. Started the sculpture and worked fast, which is, I think, why my back hurts today. Anyway, the day was kind of hazy when I got there, but clouds gradually built up. Thin sheets to the west... cool wind... damp... I had a hard time keeping up with the heat loss and it only got worse. I ended up cutting the work short somewhat, doing my photography and getting out while I could still feel my fingers. Damp and sand all over. Took a hot shower as soon as I got back.

     "It was a nice sculpture. Nothing revolutionary, but good. Incremental changes. No images yet. I haven't done the processing. Making lunch now. Trader Joe's mushroom ravioli with some sauce I'm making with sausage, green pepper and mushrooms."

My note written in the Tidelog says only "Cold..." and indicates the sculpture took about 2.5 hours. Start time looks to be just before 14:00.

This day was the first official day of my retirement, after 25 years of working for the City of Los Angeles. Intending to stay for two year and pay some bills, it ended up, though a concatenation of accidents, opportunity, ability and lucky breaks, as a career.

This was a Monday. Normally I'd have gotten up at 0430, eaten breakfast, caught a bus downtown and done my job. As it was, I did a sculpture.

"Because I Can"

Here's a note I found in an Email archive. I didn't write reports for these.

-------

 The window was narrow but the weather was good. I've rarely dong sculptures on Sundays due to needing to be reasonably alert and non-post-sculptural on Monday but that requirement no longer holds.

If you're asking what happened to 10P-2, there are no phootgraphs of this small demonstration arch I made for some chiildren on January 2. I'd been helping them with some sand construction. They were curious about making larger structures.

Sore of back and not all that alert I went down Sunday to do one for myself. Sand was mediocre so I had to be very careful.

Note in the Tidelog says "Demo arch done for Analie."
