Exploring Columbia, SC

This past Sunday, I went to South Carolina's capital city, Columbia.

My self-guided tour began at Finlay Park, where I saw a gorgeous fountain (shown below) with the city skyline as its backdrop (not exactly shown below). Across from the park, I saw the lovely Governor's Mansion and gardens — but through the fence, since the grounds were closed that day.

On my way through the historic district to the Columbia Museum of Art, I saw Blue Sky's Busted Plug Plaza art installation. At forty feet high, it's believed to be the world’s largest fire hydrant (shown at left).

After visiting the museum, I walked around USC’s Horseshoe area, which looked surreal in the late afternoon sun, then enjoyed a snack by the canal at Riverfront Park.

One New Resume

I did see a couple of new exhibits on Sunday at the Morris, but most of my weekend was spent completely redoing my resume. I was in perfectionist mode, laboring over every word, trying to concisely include as much as possible. Not so much that I overwhelm, but enough that I hold interest. I even researched my old performance reviews to get specific achievements and numbers. I'm happy with it now, and relieved to have it polished and posted and, I hope, working for me on various job sites.
