The art shredding incident...
I started this blog post on my phone the day it happened, then it got blown up all over the media, so there's really no need for me to mention it, but it was a very clever stunt. And I'm pretty sure the auction house was in on it.

Seen these advertised lately, and while I've given up on collecting (yeah, that's why, not the 'price tag') - trying instead for a more "Zen" and less possessive approach to life, there's still something to be admired:
#1) Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight Planetarium Poetic Complication: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw5S2-T-Ogk
and
#2) Jacob & Co Astronomia Sky Watch: https://www.2luxury2.com/captivating-watch-complications-jacob-co-astronomia-sky-with-celestial-display-in-three-dimensions/jacob-co-astronomia-sky-watch/
and... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnND5Jr9NcY
#3) Christiaan Van Der Klaauw Planetarium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_fuu8vMjgo
That's only the beginning, but it's enough. They are beautiful.

I know too many people who take this shit seriously. Seriously folks...
That said, I read it and I find myself uncomfortably agreeing with a lot of what they are saying...

I thought I'd read it, picked it up for the daughter. But I dipped in, to refresh my memory, and discovered I hadn't.
It was good, great, not at all politically correct, but therein lies the joy. I enjoyed it, appreciated it, but I've been a couple of years on the road myself and needed a break, this wasn't it.
Nonetheless it's a great book.
