Thanks for those photos. I'm looking forward to having some color tones on the walls to set things off better if we can too instead of that insistent ghetto high-school WHITE.

I was just in the Dia: Beacon museum and it's very different but also inspiring. The height of Industrial Hip with the original messed up Nabisco factory floors which are so beautiful now they looked as good as most of the art work and better than some of it (sorry Blinky).

Travelling,too, but this time, read three books, all great, each in a different way. Needless to say, the flights were long and my Thanksgiving was relaxing.
No. 1 BEST was Nate Leslie's Pulitzer-Prize-nominated Emma Saves her Life (sorry, can't do italics here). Let me explain with my reaction: I read it on my flight to Denver, on the tray table. When I closed the back cover, my hand would not leave the book. It just stayed there drinking the life of it, not letting it go. For a very long time.
Of a different order was Al Franken's The Truth with Jokes. It was a great solace to me, and right now I'm working on what that reaction means. Planning to turn my ruminations into a phenomenology paper, aesthetics of humor and ethics, something like that.
Of a completely non-aesthetic order was Louanne Brizendine's The Female Brain, which was very informative. I kept reading passages to Tom, who didn't want to keep hearing how slow boys were compare to girls. The truth hurts!
