Here we are at the Grey Wind Restaurant celebrating Clell's birthday.
Friday May 29, 2026
On a picture perfect Spring day in the city, I set out on an adventure to Manhattan to meet up with friends Clell and John at Hudson Yards. Both guys are actors and lots of fun. It's hard to believe that I've driven past Hudson Yards many times over the years - but never actually took the time to visit ... until today.
Here we are at the Grey Wind Restaurant celebrating Clell's birthday.
I took my Mother's Day present with me - a Lululemon bag
and found myself in front of a Lululemon Store.
I love the positioning of the escalators - reminding my friends and I of M.C. Escher's geometric art
The friend who introduced me to Escher's art in 1995 - said his art reflects the sacred geometry of creation. His intricate patterns and paradoxical worlds suggest that beneath the apparent chaos of existence lies an elegant mathematical order. Like nature itself, his work reveals recurring forms, endless cycles, and the mysterious relationship between the finite and the infinite.
If the universe is indeed a simulation, then M.C. Escher may have been one of its greatest visual interpreters. His art reveals a reality built on mathematical precision, repeating algorithms, and self-referencing loops - features that echo many concepts associated with Simulation Theory.
The sacred geometry embedded in his work suggests an underlying blueprint, while his paradoxes hint at the limitations of perception itself. Like characters navigating an unseen program, we may only glimpse fragments of the architecture that shapes our experience of existence. It is one reason Escher's work continues to resonate: it sits at the intersection of mathematics, perception, infinity, and the enduring question of whether reality is exactly what it appears to be.
