New England
Today was a spectacular New England day; the kind of day that makes one realize why they called this part of the nation New England. It looked, felt and smelled like the Home Counties, but prettier! (And I know, as I spent six weeks in Harrogate, England a few years ago).
Lectures and presentations and conferences went well; and I heard a question from a billionaire that I'd have thought would never be asked by someone in her tax bracket; she actually asked: "How much is that?"
Live and learn.
Next: Airborne from New Hampshire to Philly and Joneseying something fierce.

Wood
The "gun" fired by the punk in California that was heard around the art world and caused Chris Burden to freak out turns out to have been made of wood!
Read it here.
Burden, the shot and the whole event did inspire Bailey's I Shot Chris Burden online project.
