An open letter to my friends at the New York Guggenheim
Dear chums – Congratulations are in order! You good people have accomplished something I would heretofore have considered impossible. Indeed, such is the magnitude of your achievement that I feel compelled to laud it publicly. You have made me miss Matthew Barney. Let me explain. This past week, the Better Half and I traveled to New York for a very short mini-honeymoon of sorts. Much of our time was occupied on what any right-thinking parents of small children would do […]
