I thought you might be interested in Frank Rich's response to the recent Christian Taliban's (my description of this yahoo who raised a stink of the Smithsonian exhibition, sight unseen, with the complicit-by-their-silence Smithsonian Board, and not-so-silent supporters in Congress) attack on the National Portrait Gallery's “Hide/Seek.” The show, whose subtitle is "Difference and Desire in American Portraiture"
For the first time since 1979 (at least according to Andy) our house was without a cat in it last night. Not to worry, Potter's not dead, she's just in the hospital for an overnight thyroid screening. Turns out she has early hyperthyroidism (no surprise given her behavior recently). So we have to decide on one of three treatment options - radioactive iodine (with concomitant having to flush her poop, avoid prolonged exposure for 2 weeks), a week-long stint @ the hopital), surgery (with it's related hospital stay), or pills for the rest of her life (which given her temperament would be difficult at best). The vet says we've caught it early & it only involves one of the 2 glands so far. And us on retirement incomes. Oi vey.
Off soon for an Alexander lesson. 27F "feels like" 16F heading all the way up to 32F so the widget warns, with nary a snowflake in sight until at least Sunday. :|
