Bad news and good news

The bad: A book rejection

The good: I'm being sent to sunny Florida and S Carolina to cover two Jewish nudist communities. I decided to treat myself to the following bikini bottoms, to celebrate.

The other good: the demolition is over for the day.
Demolition over my head. Water rushing into the bathroom. Gotta get out of here!

At the Drawing Center!
Artist Talk: Agnes Denes
Wednesday, February 6, 6:30 PM
Agnes Denes will present a slide lecture followed by a conversation with curator João Ribas. Agnes Denes (b. 1931) is a New York-based artist considered to be a pioneer of Conceptual art and the Environmental art movement. Denes addresses ecological, cultural, and social issues with works that are often monumental in scale, such as Wheatfield–A Confrontation (1982), a two-acre wheat field she planted and harvested in downtown Manhattan. Denes's drawings are an integral component of her projects and reflect an obsessiveness about craftsmanship. Seemingly computer generated, Denes's drawings are laboriously wrought by hand and take months (or years) to produce.

Admission is free


I am thrilled with the Jane Austen series on PBS. I wish we (I) dressed in similar ways today, and retired to the parlor, post-dinner, for social dancing with live music.


Jerk chicken + red velvet cake + election results + dog + Tony's birthday + Juno's departure + our new band.

More plans for the pool. I better sharpen my ice skate blades.
