Saw The Mummies exhibit at AMNH before it closed. Learned: Canopic jars were used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the viscera of their owner for the afterlife. They were commonly either carved from limestone or were made of pottery; Cartonnage is a type of material used in Ancient Egyptian funerary masks from the First Intermediate Period to the Roman era. It was made of layers of linen or papyrus covered with plaster. Some of the Fayum mummy portraits are also painted on panels made of cartonnage..




75% sale since the exhibit is ending. $6.



Stopped in and saw Our Senses. Lots of interesting stuff about how our senses are limited.



Super "Wolf" moon. Later, this month, there will be a Blue Moon.

Happy Birthday Father Abraham!



Went to Gramercy Farmer and Fish. Crowded, cramped but the service was friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty. The portions were smaller than most other places (one shrimp in Tuna main dish and three oysters in the oyster pan roast.) I will take quality over quantity any time. The Octopus appetizer was great as was the S'mores. Both dishes becoming staples in NYC restaurants.



Going to the¡Cuba! exhibit at AMNH. Looking forward to the Mummies exhibit in March.
