Santiago Calatrava's building which currently houses the Milwaukee Museum of Art was completed in May of 2001. That's not very long ago. The 217 foot fan closes up at night and during inclement weather, and has become one of the symbols of Milwaukee. Calatrava is a Spanish fellow that has been taking the architecture world by storm this last decade. Our art museum was his first work in the United States, and he is currently overseeing the design of what will soon become the country's tallest building, the Chicago Spire. You've probably read in previous posts about how excited I am for my spire to be built down in the Windy City. Next time Calatrava's in town, I'm totally taking him to lunch.
So one morning in June Sara woke up unable to see. That's certainly not a preferred vision status, so we took her to the emergency room and found out that she had ulcers on her eyeball. Eeeewwww!! All's well now, thanks to the treatment that she got from some very good optomolotritionologists, which included wearing an eye patch for a week or so. Needless to say, a vast quantity of pirate jokes were instituted at her expense.
