Thanks Clint. Concentrate and rest and maybe you can meet Dr. Pozzi on the astral plane. My mantra for today is Om Som Somaya Namah, repeated 108 times. I didn't know until last year that Tina Turner was a Buddhist.

Carolyn Jones and Ann Margaret Olsson are birthday twins? There's a dynamic duo.

The Art Institute in Chicago specializes in The Impressionists, so that's what I grew up seeing.

This topic brought to mind Titian's "Portrait of A Young Englishman" usually identified as the 4th Duke of Norfolk. This cousin of QE1 was brought out to be executed 4 times but reprieved the first three times. Accounts differ about what happened the 4th time. Some say he gave a fine speech, others say he had gone "mad" and was completely incoherent.

Thanks, Steve. I’m pretty sure I’ll run into Dr. Pozzi sooner than later. A until I’ll chant my preferred mantra: “Nah-Imma-stay-gay.” :-)

Sending hugs and wishes for a childhood that included The Art Institute of Chicago. Debating a visit to Chi-town or D.C….also sooner than later. Cheers!

Dang Clint sorry you got short changed on your expectations. I guess the moral of the story is to check either on line or via media to make sure the exhibit is still on display. It would save you an unwanted journey. Good luck when do get to see it in person. 👥👥👥 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

Thanks, Doug. I did. Or thought I did. They have conflicting info on their website. Trust that I've already sent a message to their team. The museum wants to be considered world-class, so I expect a world-class website that says what it means and means what it says. I know...first world problems. :-p Cheers!
