Miscellaneous

To quote Molly Ivins: "I couldn't make this stuff up." This was in our paper this morning, headlined "Donor uses kidney in custody flight".

Melville, NY - The Long Island surgeon who wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her or pay him $1.5 million in a dirce settlement has asked a Nassau judge to throw her in jail for not allowing him to visit his three children, the doctor's attorney said Tuesday.
Dr. Richard Batista's attorney, Dominic Barbra, wants his estranged wife, Dawnell Batista of Massapequa, held in contempt."

We opened the barrier between the gallery and the main space today. They've finished the window wall and door. Also, they've removed the old dropped ceiling, so there are the huge high ceilings with the exposed rafters of the floor above. It's exciting, and the light is incredible! They were supposed to put up the barrier/weather wall to block off the main space, so we'll be coming in through the new door until they finish the main space. Then they're going to put the new awning over both sides. I haven't painted anything new for this show, but I have dragged out some older stuff and had it reframed and cleaned up. It may wind up being stacked around against the walls for a while, but I can deal with that. It's always an adventure! I only hope there is mostly some open space for folks to come for the reception on the 23rd.

I guess all this cold weather makes me want to post flower pictures - a hibiscus.
