We're in more trouble than I imagined! While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.." She votes!

I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I got a call from a guy who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific." He also votes!.

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the admin. assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving." She also votes!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned. My friend also votes!

My girlfriend and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub place last week and she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more expensive My girlfriend got a quizzical look on her face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both listed with the same price on the menu?" To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think we add tax to the turkey." The clerk also votes!

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.

Arthur Dove. Who? Even if you don't know him, most artists do and most artists also love him. the Whitney has a few.

MacDries says, "Nah, the guy's not nuts. He was just working out some sexual fantasies. Yadda, yadda. I'd say there was no viable sanity defense. How many wackos are walking around, right now. Let's spend a few bucks on research unpacking this guy's mind."
2nd Dentist, 2nd Opinion
So the second dentist says it may not be another tooth but might be the first one still infected. She gave me a stronger antibiotic and said the first root canal may need more work.
Which might mean a bit of Oral Surgery. I don't even like the sound of that but today's visit was $150 instead of $1500.
Problem is when you have a tooth ache it doesn't seem like the time to go for a 2nd opinion. And that's all you'll hear about teeth today.
Better not mess up my plans for RT, however.

Queer, As In Strange, Odd
Four years ago, Judi Howden married Mike (Mickey) Howden. Today, she is married to Mikayla Howden, after Mickey had a sex-change operation.
"Mikayla is still the same person," Judi Howden said. "Everything is still there, minus body parts (unspecified). The person hasn't changed."
At the time of their marriage, Judi Howden knew Mickey had questions about his sexuality. A month into their relationship, Mickey mentioned that he used to cross-dress. Then, he said that he still cross-dressed. Finally, he told Judi he was a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
It took Judi just 24 hours to realize that Mickey's identity crisis was something she could work with.
The couple is raising daughter Kailynn, as well as their three other children from previous marriages. 

MacDries says, "Odd, but not unheard of. Humans adjust to 'enormous changes at the last moment' if I might paraphrase a wonderful writer, Grace Paley."
Another Fucking Root Canal
Excuse me but I'm fed up with doctors and dentists and making appointments and looking up who is on the insurance plan and who is not.
Went to a first dentist this morning and she of course doesn't do anything except clean teeth so she sent me to her pal around the corner. Stopped in there to see if I could get in today or tomorrow. Problem was the lobby was bunkered off with security screening and the terror cops wanted to see my ID. I told them to fuck off and get a life.
Dropped off the prescription for an antibiotic, pick it up in an hour. Came home and made a few more calls up country to see if I could find an Endodontist in the Ghent area on our plan. There was one but he's from Staten Island only comes up once a week on Thursdays and he's booked through December. Merry Christmas.
Gave up and called another here downtown. Not on the plan but will do it today. 2pm. $1500. Insurance covers 80%. After that I will need two new crowns for which I will find a decent dentist on our plan.
And then there is the usual pain and lectures to a 63 year old about the proper way to floss. If I didn't know that when I was 15 I sure as hell have heard it a hundred times since. One look at my xray will tell you that.
My best looking brother, who has never gone to a dentist since he was a boy, is finally having them all yanked out. We grew up going to Old Doc Parrot. We called him The Butcher; didn't really believe in Novocaine, preferred to yank a tooth rather than save it. Hope he's rotting in hell.
Luckily my children are growing up with the proper information, braces, painless dentistry.

Did the Earth Move?

This is the largest earth mover in the world.
Built by the German company, Krupp, and seen here crossing a federal highway in Germany en route to its destination (an open-pit coal mine). It is cheaper to move the thing like this, than to construct or reassemble onsite.
The mover stands  311 feet tall and 705 feet long.
It weighs over 45,500 tons.
Cost $100 million to build.
Took 5 years to design and manufacture.
5 years to assemble.
Requires 5 people to operate it.
The Bucket Wheel is over 70 feet in diameter with 20 buckets, each of which can hold over 530 cubic feet of material.
A 6-foot man can stand up inside one of the buckets.
It moves on 12 crawlers (each is 12 feet wide, 8' high and 46 feet long).
There are 8 crawlers in front and 4 in back.
It has a maximum speed of 1 mile in 3 hours (1/3 mile/hour).
It can remove over 76,455 cubic meters each day. (100,000 large dump trucks at 40yds. each)
Exciting!
A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the  blackboard and sat back down.
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it  was.
"It's a period," he replied.
"I can see that," said the teacher, "but  what's so exciting about a period?"
"Darned if I know," he said, "but this morning my sister was missing one. Mommy fainted, daddy had a heart attack and the boy next door joined the  Navy."

Piero della Francesca's The Flagellation. Everybody's favorite in art school. I once did an interpretation of this painting in b&w for Birney Quick's drawing class. Still looks good to me (Piero's not mine).
I'm told this painting was stolen from Urbino some years ago. Don't know if it was ever returned.
Piero made himself a master mathematician and played a bigger role in the spread of Euclid's geometry than anyone else. He wrote a number of learned treatises, three of which survive, including an exposition of the rules of perspective, De prospectiva pingendi, which demanded more mathematical skills than most painters have ever possessed.

Jack Zajac was the sculptor in residence at the American Academy In Rome when we were there in the late 60s. He was working on some of these goats then and evolving some newer sleeker marble pieces about flowing water etc. Besides being an excellent artist, Jack was the funniest non-comedian I've ever known. He was also the friend of all sorts of Hollywood types; George Segal, Mike Nichols, Jim Harrison, so we got to meet a few whenever someone was in Rome shooting movies. We went to a double feature one night at John Huston's apartment in Campo dei Fiori: The Gold Rush and The Treasure of The Sierra Nevada (see the theme?). Next day Zajac was doing his "Badges, what badges? We ain' got no badges. We don' need no steenking badges" speech. Dead on.

Shipwrecked Irishman
One day an Irishman who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, "It's certainly not a ship."
And, as the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out the possibilities of a small boat and even a raft. Suddenly there emerged from the surf a wet-suited black clad figure.
Putting aside the scuba gear and  the top of the wet suit, there stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!
The glamorous blonde strode up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar"
"Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman.
With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wetsuit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars.
He  takes one, lights it, and takes a long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the man, "that is so good I'd almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!"
  "And how long has it  been since you've had a drop of good  Powers Irish Whiskey?" asked the blonde.
Trembling, the castaway replied, "Ten years."
Hearing that, the blonde reaches over to her right sleeve, unzips a pocket and removes a flask and hands  it to him. He opened the flask  and took a long drink. "'Tis nectar of the  gods!" stated the Irishman. "Tis truly fantastic!!!"
At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right  down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, "And how long has  it been since you played around?"
  With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to  his knees and sobbed, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there, too!"

Tom Otterness was the first artist I met when I moved to NYC for the second time in 1979. He was working for RomDog, replacing bolts on the fire escape of the building where I found the last loft in Manhattan. He came down and helped me schlep my refrigerator up two flights of stairs, straining his back in the process, and we became friends. I later hired him to work with me on some apartment painting gigs and Romdog hired both of us to board up windows on a tenement on Eldridge Street for a rich young artist named Jenny Holzer. Some years later, when Tom's work began to take off he hired me to manage his studio for him. This was a good and bad move. Good in the sense that he was doing well and I had a regular income for 6 years or so. Bad because you should never go into business with a friend, draw to an inside straight, eat at a place called Mom's or piss in your own swimming hole.
Tom and I no longer see each other much but I still think he's the best sculptor around in the area of public art.
The Tables, seen here, was one of the first major projects Tom produced when I was working for him. The Real World in Battery Park City downtown was another. Check them out, especially if you have children.

Student Days
"People whose lives are barren and insecure seem to show a greater willingness to obey than people who are self-sufficient and self-confident. To the frustrated, freedom from responsibility is more attractive than freedom from restraint. They are eager to barter their independence for relief of the burdens of willing, deciding and being responsible for inevitable failure. They willingly abdicate the directing of their lives to those who want to plan, command and shoulder all responsibility."
~Eric Hoffer The True Believer

Back in the day, I was a huge fan of Eric Hoffer (dock-worker, writer) and read everything he wrote. The above quote still seems pertinent so I dug out what remains of his in my library and will double check my youthful enthusiam.
This can be dangerous. I once read The Prophet straight through twice during a Minneapolis blizzard. I know better than to re-read that.

Sidebar: We also had a young Social Science teacher in art school named Miss Hofer (not Hoffer) who we all sorta loved. Very smart if not a great beauty, a bit large, Miss Hofer came in one morning to lecture about such things, hair askew, looking like she may not have been home to change clothes.
She took a breath, looked out at our eager faces and said "Why do we drink so much?"
Of course we loved her even more after that but she left after one semester.
Mr. X who replaced her, (fill in the name Carl. Nevermind, Holte*), also endeared us by coming in one day proceeding to sit cross-legged on the table with his fly (shall I again say) askew? His single memorable utterance was: "What would you say if I told you there is a bunny in this briefcase?"
I don't recall his point but then he wasn't as cute as Miss Hofer. And when it came time for mid-terms, Jim Munce took one look at the test and walked out. I stayed put and bluffed my way to a C or C-.
Whew! This is more than I intended when the nostalgia kicked in.
*Carl corrects my shaky memory, it was "Buffalo Bob Miller, not Holte whose fly was open. But it was Holte who had the bunny in his briefcase.

Claes Oldenburg, like Christo, started giving half credit to his wife, Coosie van Bruggen, some years ago. Unlike Christo, he does consistently good art. The caveat being that his early work is far superior to the latest heavily produced public commissions. It seems that he, like many of us, caught on to what his work was about (i.e. sexuality, potency or the lack of) and then began to exploit it.
That's too bad, but he is still a major artist and worth watching.

There is a show of about a dozen Joan Mitchell paintings from 1960-62 currently at Cheim & Read Gallery on 25th Street in Chelsea that should not be missed. This is assuming you live in NYC. Other art lovers should watch for opportunities to see her work whenever it comes around.
Mitchell is one (maybe the only one) of "the girls" who can hold her own right up there with Franz and Mark and Phil and Adolph, if perhaps not with Jackson, Hans, Clifford and Willem.
This show is even better than the Retro recently at the Whitney which suffered from too much of her later more repititious work.
Interesting note: Mitchell's painting bears obvious derivations from Monet and she even lived on a street in France named after the master. However, she always refused to acknowledge any influence.
Is this called denial or mere perversity?

MacDries says, "Good luck fascists everywhere. A small time hacker is smarter than any politician and thus here is yet another policy doomed to fail.

Gregory Gillespie was a past fellow at The American Academy In Rome and still had a studio out back when we arrived in 1967. A bit of a mysterious guy whose studio was as thick and quirky and dark and dusty as a painting by Albert Pynkham Ryder. Everything looked as if it was in place and nothing was ever arranged. Nothing was horizontal or vertical. Stacks, boxes, scraps and canvasses seemed inevitably were they were.
I re-met him 30 years later and had a few pleasant chats at various exhibitions. He was still mysterious but friendly and open but behind the eyes there was a chilling impenetrable depth. So, it wasn't truly a surprise to hear that he ultimately hung himself.
Gillespie was very sucessful financially but few people have ever heard of him. He is sui generis as an artist and no movement really feels comfortable including him. That's why I love and admire his work. His imagery reminds me of Bosch and inhabits an odd erotic animal/vegetable terrain.
Forum Gallery represents his estate.

The "Liberal" Court
It seems even so-called Liberals can be wrong and stupid. The more liberal side of the Supreme Court ruled against pot for sick people (6-3). Authorities may prosecute sick people who smoke Marijuana (pot, reefer, kif, spliff, mary jane, ganja, boo, weed, hemp, hashish) on doctors' orders.
Angel Raich, an Oakland woman suffering from ailments including scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea, fatigue and pain, smokes marijuana every few hours. She said she was partly paralyzed until she started smoking pot. Diane Monson, an accountant who lives near Oroville, Calif., has degenerative spine disease and grows her own marijuana plants in her backyard.
I'm going to have to be prepared to be arrested," said Diane Monson.
Alan Hopper, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney, said that local and state officers handle 99 percent of marijuana prosecutions and must still follow any state laws that protect patients. "This is probably not going to change a lot for individual medical marijuana patients," he said.

Kiki Smith is everywhere these days and somewhat deservedly so. Her architect/sculptor father Tony Smith (not David) had a brief moment in the minimal 70s but managed to raise at least two good artists better than himself. Kiki's sister Seaton also does pretty good work (and drinks tea & vodka on a cold day).
I knew Kiki on the streets in the 80s and at CoLab but I only really noticed her when she hung a small rectangular painting at a gallery on 57th Street. I don't recall the painting but I do recall that it was framed in a unique manner. Quarter inch strips of wood were nailed on each edge and then snapped off with a ragged edge left extended. And thus around the four sides.
I bumped into her on the street one night and told her I liked the gesture. She said, "Yeah, the cheap ass dealer would pay for framing so...
Addendum: Art dealers, I've noticed, are now called Gallerists. Get it! Artist. Gallerist. As if they were equals.
I have a small limited edition Kiki wood block print that she sent out years ago and it's pretty nice. Kiki is one of the few artists around who can really shock you with her subject matter because you know it is authentic and coming straight out of her psyche. Unlike, say, those Brit Twits spawned by Jeff Koons.
She also is still changing every day and there is always something new.
