I definitely wore my wife out today. When we got home from art galleries, she said that for her upcoming birthday... [View all]

We went to the Zimmerli Museum in New Brunswick to see the wonderful...Native American Art Exhibit.

It appears they were setting up for a panel talk, Topographies of Dissent: Opening Reception & Panel Conversation (The Zimmerli has one of the world's best collections of Soviet era dissident - non-conformist, as opposed to the officially sanctioned Stalin era "socialist realist" - art.)

I wanted to stay for the panel discussion (free wine afterwards at the reception), but she said, "Listen Bub, I have a daily long commute; I'm exhausted and I can't spend all of my free time on academic type talks." (She works in academia; so there's that.)

OK, if you think you should drink Charles Manson drinks, you do deserve a rest.
