Greg Wyshinski, writer for Yahoo Sports, reported:

Elizabeth Hughes, 8, made her debut signing the national anthem at an AHL Norfolk Admirals (the Tampa Bay Lightning‘s affiliate) game against the Connecticut Whale (New York Rangers‘ affiliate). Angelic voice, bundle of nerves … and then after the words “gave proof,” her microphone abruptly cut out.

What happened next might be something we’ve seen before at a sporting event, but that never lacks for inspiration (and maybe a misty eye or two). There’s a moment around 1:30 into this clip that gives us hope for humanity:

“Love and closeness have nothing to do with geography. No matter how far away you are, roots go with you.”

- Henriette Anne Klauser, Put Your Heart On Paper

Blech.

But NEVER let any of the above deprive you of enjoying many works or exhibitions.  Many major museums now offer virtual exhibits*, or samples of them, to give you a taste of what is out there waiting for you to devour with your senses.

For example, visit The Museum of Modern Art (affectionately known or also referred to as MOMA) in New York City to see the extraordinary Color Chart exhibit depicting how color was reinvented from 1950 to today.  

From the introduction, “Forty-four artists take the position that art and life mingle rather than remain separate, and where beauty is found in the everyday rather than in the ideal.”

But we already knew that didn’t we? :)

Enjoy the exhibit.

All my love,
Kelley Taylor
