Which statue would the Tea Party think I will see all over New York in souvenir shops?
And in reality, I got to see a Living Statue in Central Park.

Art In The Big Apple
In anticipation for my upcoming trip to New York, I was looking at The New Yorker from March 4. A friend recommended an article on a surgeon who could work miracles with singers who had lost their voices. I looked at the table of contents and it was like one of those cartoons where the character’s eyeballs vibrate in and out! Pierro dela Francesca was at The Frick. The largest show of his work outside of Arrezzo. I called Sharon and John. They were up for it…and John’s sister has an apartment on the upper west side…so I am in New York for this week. I will keep you posted on my doings. Love Nicole and Syl

There are other artists I like in addition to Pierro della Francesca, too.
Beckmann, Munter and Bonnard….

I love this item. I wish they would find that cookies eaten off the floor build your immune system as well…

And Yet Great Woman Cartoonist
An incredible writer, thinker and artist, sent by Mr. Tom, internet gazer.
The artist has two dogs. She fears one of them may be retarded.
She finds a test on the internet to see if a dog is simple. Of course, why else do we live except to look things up on the internet? I felt a little wrong saying: “retarded.” I am sorry. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/07/dog.html

Lashes And Lash Perm
I have read this Groupon offer three times now, and I still can’t figure out what a lash perm is. I want one, but I don’t know what it is. Here’s what I think I would look like after my perm.

A Petition Worth The Buzz
Honey Bees are dying at an alarming rate, and this winter marked the worst losses by far. U.S. beekeepers reported that as much as 50% of their bees disappeared or died.
Last week, the European Union took a major step to protect our bee population – placing a two year ban on the thought to be responsible – but the U.S. is still finding excuses for inaction. With the health of our bee populations – and the estimated $15 billion in agricultural benefits they provide on the line – it’s time for the EPA to stop ignoring the science, and follow the EU’s lead.
Want to help? Sign this petition urging the EPA to take action now:
