:o :)



We saw this Gustav Klimt piece in person at the German-Type Art Museum in NYC in September. That was right before we saw the German-Type American People's parade as we walked out onto Fifth Avenue.

As always Truman, you were there with us in spirit  :)   (btw be sure to take my spirit along next trip I can't make)

Miz Lynne has the Japanese translation of this painting as her userpic on fb now.

Great article. It sounds like Annie Proulx writing about her now jewel-encluttered self  :laugh:

I do...I was going for the Goddess of Prosperity for the new year...I wonder if Annie Proulx has her share of that, with the understanding that I doubt it means the same thing to me as to her as to the next person.

    I will probably be ran out of this forum on a rail, and tarred and feathered.  But
as for me, I think she is just too self important anymore.  When she said that she
wished that the airplane she saw flying around her place, would crash..I gave up
all the respect for her. Other people are more important than she obviously thinks they are.  She seems to think that she is the only person of value in this country.  ....go ahead  do your worst.  I still think I can take it.  That is my opinion.;  Privacy is wonderful, but she is obviously a grizzled cranky old superior acting and feeling wench.

Don´t hold back now ;)
A for the plane, I don´t think she actually WANTS the plane to crash.  ;)
She is without a doubt a tough old bird, though, living by herself in Wyoming. I wonder if it is the solitude, the land itself or the people, that attracts her to the area.


I haven´t gotten my copy yet, but am looking forward to reading it, especially the parts about Wyoming´s fauna and history.

What I would love to read, and probably won't in her life time, is a biography about her. From what I understand she has not had an easy time of it, well who does I know.....

I remember the time I went to see her speak and someones cell phone rang and she stopped midsentance and said "Do you want to get that?"
