I also chatted with Paul Rieckhoff, the executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), who is often on Rachel's show. I purchased his book 'Chasing Ghosts'. All in all, Saturday was awesome.
Today (Sunday) was more mundane. I raked leaves, visited the local bookstore, took a walk and went out to dinner with Mom & Dad.

I asked him what part of Scotland he was from. He replied that he was from Orkney Islands in the far north. I said that I visited Scotland once with my mother and that her maiden name was Stirling. He sounded bemused.
On Tuesday, I attended my first painting class at the MFA. The subject was a still life and the paints used were acrylic. As a complete novice at this medium, I was intimidated at first. But after diving in - so to speak - I became more relaxed though it was still a challenge. I think my prior experience in charcoal drawing helped me.
