2A Daily News – Monday, May 23, 2011 Community people&events Student Trip to MOMA The fantasy of perfectionism Courtesy photo Red Bluff High School sent nine students to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Pictured from left: Sophia Gonzalez, Haylee Johnson, Brandyn Raygoza, Barbie Corrales, Eric Vail, Brenda Perez, Danny Roa, Brittany DeWitt, and Gina Cosentino, bottom center. Special to the DN A group of nine Red Bluff High School students were recently “granted” a journey to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The trip, motivated by a Tehama County Arts Coun- cil and the California Arts Council Arts Plate Program grant, was aimed at giving the students insight into museum/gallery etiquette as well as exposure to trea- sured artwork. Red Bluff High School art teacher, Wes Hendricks, is very appreciative of the TCAC for this opportunity. “We have a tremendous resource in San Francisco. It is relatively close and home to world class museums and galleries,” said Hendricks. “This grant has given our students an open door to the real world.” The students were required to read a paper on gallery etiquette and pass a short test to demonstrate an under- standing of the information. “The group was amazing, I would take them any- where” Hendricks said. Students who attended were Sophia Gonzalez, Haylee Johnson, Brandyn Raygoza, Barbie Corrales, Eric Vail, Brenda Perez, Danny Roa, Brittany DeWitt, and Gina Cosentino.

Sure, I know it’s folly; yet I can pic- ture that magical happy place where all goes according to plan and every- thing works out as I imagined. I have a plan. Today, I become the pinnacle of modern workplace efficiency. Without exception, every single solitary item on my to-do list will be accomplished — even those lingering on the pad since ‘07. Phone calls will be returned in a timely, upbeat, eager manner, complete with all the necessary and required information at hand. Today, every goal will be exceeded; every deadline shall be beat. Should I spot a customer, client, co-worker, or vendor, I shall stretch out a warm enthusiastic hand in friendship, greeting her with enthusiasm, warmth, and energy; developing the ultimate positive repu- tation. Today, all reports will be fin- ished on time and with precision. Today, the five-year backlog of filing shall be ended. Facebook farm games, really cute cat videos on YouTube, and forwarded emails with titles like “LOL! OMG! You’ve got to see this!” shall not deter me from my mission. I am a rock. (I shall be so effectual that I will have even had enough spare time to properly arrange my computer’s desktop icons in perfect order. After all, I owe it to myself to have some fun.) Moreover, I will not ignore my most important relationship. Mark this date; for it is when I became the per- fect spouse. Should my loving wife require assistance, no matter what else I am doing, I shall immediately — sans attitude, of course — cease all other pursuits, and lavish upon her all the attention she so richly deserves. As illustration of how central is our shared life, I will make time to clean the bathroom, prepare dinner, wash the dishes, pay the bills, and even massage her aching feet, expecting nothing in return. Today, I am the perfect hus- band. To achieve these lofty goals, I must reserve time for me, for should I falter, all who depend on me will be let down. Therefore, I shall rise with sufficient time to allow for hours of medita- tion and soul centering. After which, I shall adorn myself in made in the U.S.A. fashionable, waterproof, breathable, sweat suit with state-of-the-art walking gear. I will strap on a heart monitor, fire up some inspirational music, grab the walking weights, and tread briskly for miles; assuring my heart rate remains in its ultimate target range the entire time. Scott Q. Marcus Before the rooster crows, I am gen- tly roused by my ascending, progres- sive, Tibetan chime, Zen alarm. Notic- ing the early hour, the stars against the dark night sky, and picturing all I will accomplish this perfect day in perfect order — I jerk my certified organic ivory-colored, imported, Egyptian cotton blanket over my head, slam the snooze button, muttering, “Yick, there’s always tomorrow,” just like I did yesterday. A thought crosses my somnolent synapses, “Maybe, this all-or-nothing attitude is overwhelming and holding me back? Would I be more productive if I set more realistic goals?” Pondering the revelation, I realize that if I did, I’d actually have to change. Why would I do that when everything’s perfect? Scott “Q” Marcus is a professional Upon returning home, I shall show- er in purified, alkaline, ionized microwater, and then prepare the most important meal of the day, a hearty breakfast, consisting entirely of 100% organic, all natural, unprocessed, non- fat, free-range, locally grown, high- fiber foods. Further ensuring complete balance, I will masticate each morsel 32 times, one for each tooth. This will be my new dawn, my gen- esis, my beginning.
