SPRING GREEN in Postcards 4

Glorious stuff spring green. I’m really enjoying seeing the leaves grow, see the grasses go from their winter greys, and see the sun out for a little while. Pretty soon we will have May Grey and June Gloom with us, but right now there is a burp in the weather and we have sunshine.

The Federal Building, in the photo above, isn’t the Sports museum any more. “Hall of Champions” they called themselves. Captain Poolie, Director of the museum across the plaza, called it an event location. What a shame. But now we have something else moving in…Comic Con.

Wikipedia tells us, “It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans that included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, and Mike Towry;[4][5][6][7] later, it was called the “San Diego Comic Book Convention”. It is a four-day event (Thursday–Sunday) held during the summer (in July since 2003) at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego.” It is now so much more than comic books shown in the dark basement of the US Grant Hotel.

They have renewed their lease on the Convention Center with the city of San Diego. Why not also have a location to showcase the arts in the city where they began. They say they also plan to have Panels throughout the year. I would hope they hire a real museum director that knows to rotate shows. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do in the fresh Spring green of Balboa Park.

  • Herself: Actually did ALL the laundry and most of the grocery shopping yesterday. Forgot the avocados…gotta have those. Sure did have trouble waking up today. Nothing scheduled this week at all.
  • Reading: Pulling the bed out to get to the Mrs. Polifax books.
  • Watching: A new NCIS tonight.
  • Gratitude’s: That I finally woke and with a smile.

It's definitely green here right now. I'm just outside of Sacramento so the greenness isn't going to last for long as it's pretty dry from around now until early October.

Spring is the season we are reminded just how many hues and shades of green there is too. Wonderful, enjoy. I chuckled at your mention of May Grey and June Gloom....never heard of those before...lol. Sounds more applicable for down here in NZ as that is where we go into our winter months.
