Friday, @lynnae.bsky.social & I got to spend most of the day at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, including returning to the Caravaggio painting where we got engaged almost 20 years ago. It was a real treat to visit again together and have a day full of art!

As a leader at a museum, very encouraging to hear the Pope extolling the value of cultural spaces.

Remembering my grandfather — my best ancestor and relentless cheerleader — on Veterans Day. He served in the Air Force between WW2 & Korea. He passed on this date in 2004, and I still miss him.

Coming back to this, because I took a break from my desk to spend a few moments with one of my favorite “dispatches from real places,” an early Rembrandt masterwork that so clearly shows Caravaggio’s influence in its composition

Best thing I’ve read this week. A fullhearted defense of real, human art.
“The truth is I had come looking for this. That my days and maybe yours too all feel terrorized by the synthetic, by impostors, by preening frauds spouting homilies… I had come looking for dispatches from real places.”

I love Boston. I've made it my home for 13 years -- even if I haven't yet been able to *buy* a home. I can't stand the mentality in so many Eastern MA suburb and exurb towns that amounts to "if you weren't born here, don't come here. I got mine, you can't make me change, screw you."
