It's been a blog-less summer so far. I can't quite keep up with things these days, I guess. And speaking of keeping up, I ran a race with my daughter on July 4, and I didn't stick around for the results. I'm not exactly the speedster on the block anymore, and I ran a pretty flat 7 minute pace. But today my daughter came home with a plaque for me . . . "Hey, Mom! You won the Grand Master prize!" Okay, there were 800 plus people in the race, but I doubt there were any women in my age group. Sigh.
So yeah. Now I get to be Grand Master.
Autoportrait (Tamara in a Green Bugatti) is a self-portrait by the Polish
artist Tamara de Lempicka, which she painted in Paris in 1928. It was
commissioned by the German fashion magazine Die Dame for the cover of the
magazine, to celebrate the independence of women. It is one of the
best-known examples of Art Deco portrait painting.

Grand Master Nin, it has a nice ring to it.
Thanks Rick! I wish it were for poetry, not running.
I am embarrassed by my very slow running speed. Nobody can figure out my actual running speed, and I look like I'm running fast (my legs are short), so I guess it doesn't matter.
Next year, you'll run even faster and be named "Grand Master Flash."
