Hempel Consulting

The sun is setting and this warm, Colorado day is turning to night. My short sleeve shirt gave way to a turtleneck and thick socks. What to do now? Get on the computer? Seems like a crime but I’ll do it anyway. Just a peek.

And what to my surprise did I find? A beautiful poem by Maira Kalman.

I’m guessing that whether Democrat or Republican or neither you can find something in Ms. Kalman’s poem to make you smile. For me, I love the painting of butter. Butter is, after all, my favorite food group. And, the late, great Julia Child couldn’t envision a recipe where more butter didn’t mean much better.

So on this cool Saturday at dusk, I’m taking a moment to relish the virtues of butter and enjoy President Obama’s inauguration as seen through the eyes of Maira Kalman.
