Now, if had tied in some kind of pop-reference, like you and Tam had worked your way onto a parade float, reenacting Feris Bueller's Day Off, you would have gotten more responses.
reading too much into it?
Sorry to disappoint, but the Monday after Thanksgiving isn't my best day for art appreciation. That's the day I begin dreading the impending Christmas season.

Good one, Roberta, Better in some ways than Charles M. Russell (the Montana artist)on artists, "an Artist is the only thing you can say you is that nobody can say you ain't." Judging by what I've seen of a lot of NEA endowment recipients, that's even more true today than 100 years ago.
It worked with the WPA, it works with the NEA.
The keep tellin' me how the rich are richer than ever. Maybe it's because most of them stopped patronizing Art? It certainly explains a lot about Art.
