Feb 17–May 23: Two exhibitions put the finishing touch on the Newark Museum’s ongoing centennial celebration. “Blackout” transforms the museum’s classical Engelhard Court. Paul Henry Ramirez, a contemporary New Jersey artist, paints the space with blacked-out walls, abstract forms, and bold colors.
The museum also presents “Constructive Spirit: Abstract Art in South and North America, 1920s–50s,” the first exhibition to explore pan-American geometric abstraction in the first half of the twentieth century. Wed–Fri, noon–5 pm; Sat–Sun, 10 am–5 pm; $6–$10. 49 Washington St, Newark (973-596-6550; newarkmuseum.org).

Let’s face it. This “snowicane” sweeping across New Jersey right now is nothing compared to the disastrous earthquake that hit Haiti in January. Last night, at the Benefit for Haiti Relief at the Chandelier Room in the W Hoboken, I was reminded of this. And that’s a good enough reason for me to brave a little snow.
There are some experiences fathers are just not prepared for in life. Driving a minivan. Disneyland vacations. Prolonged holiday visits with in-laws. Maturing. Little things.
But now I was abreast of the King of Trucks, a Peterbilt (though those are fighting words to them that believe Kenworth is the King of Trucks. Me? I like 'em both.)
Starting this afternoon, I will be taking part in Get Fit New Jersey, a rigorous, 24-week fitness program at Life Time Athletic in Florham Park. Naturally, I spent the weekend stuffing my face with as much holiday chocolate and other goodies as possible.
