I hope you saw Hopper’s “Nighthawks” at the Art Institute of Chicago. To see it is on my bucket list.

#4 Bill: It’s in the eye of the beholder. I get much more out of Van Gogh than Pissaro. A child? Perhaps I see things you do not, albeit childish.

I don’t get the Van Gogh, it looks like a child painted it. I can’t see the art.

The Camille Pissarro painting, I clearly see the art and think it is beautiful. I just don’t get what is wrong with me that I can’t see the two as equals.

Please tell Dawn that photographing works of art can damage them. That is why museums generally ask you not to.

I try to surround myself with successful people who are smarted than me. I will learn just by observing and interacting with them. BTW, I think some of my success may be attributed to interacting with those smarter, more successful people. Some of what you brought up from the past is the reason, we study the classics or history. Not to dwell on it, but to learn from it.

#6 – I’d rather hang out with a great person than an awful person, too, but $ doesn’t play into the equation.
