See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8). This is the second time we've met Rob Colvin. We first met at an opening fairly recently. We had a short conversation and I was looking forward to getting to talk to him again. A ways into the afternoon, Rob asked me if I would be interested in doing a book of my Joseph Cornell photographs. I said sure. So, he asked me to send him some images and he had some ideas. I did send him the images about a week later.]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8). Portia Munson wasn't actually napping. People arrived over about a half hour, and we gathered outside and had drinks and Hours D'oeuvres before going inside for lunch.]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8). I don't think Jared Handelsman was napping either.]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8)]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8).]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8).]]> See "Lunch at Our House 1 of 9" (as well as 2-8).

I was at the Colony Hotel drawing. This group was not in a mood to cooperate. Thai Taste Restaurant, New Haven, Connecticut.]]> I went to the Guggenheim to see the Russia exhibition. At lunchtime the cafe was very crowded. I ran into Alexis Klimoff from the Russian Studies Department at Vassar and we shared a table.]]> Daniel is taking Eve's place when she is on leave next term. This was a get-acquainted lunch.]]> Peter, Christina, Gina, and Laura were grading the Drawing I sections. And I went to Amy Laughlin's officer to get some help to work on my Christmas present, a book for Cathy (Murphy). I was having trouble finding someone to print the book. Luckily, Amy had a good suggestion-- Artifact Uprising. I contacted them and sent all the material on Sunday, December 16 and arranged for FedEx Rush delivery which is supposed to guarantee delivery by the 24th of December. When it seemed like a reasonable time to head to the department holiday party, I went downstairs to the Jade Room. See the next three entries.]]> Last night we went to an opening for an exhibition of Thomas Nozkowski (see last -number- of entries. Last night Cathy (Catherine Murphy) and I stayed at the Hampton Inn, on 24th Street. It was reasonably priced and a nice hotel, though the mattress was too hard but not as truly uncomfortably hard as the Savoy Chelsea, which we stayed in after Cathy's show last week. We had breakfast in our room — an egg sandwich from the deli on the corner and coffee and tea from Starbucks. We left the hotel at about 11:00 am and went first to Tom's (Thomas Nozkowski) show so we could see it in a less noisy and crowded manner than the opening last night - which was fun and good to see people not seen for a long time. We went to have lunch at the Sullivan Bakery on 9th and 25th Street. There was a spot right out front. Getting good parking spots always puts me in a better mood. The restaurant was crowded and we probably would have gotten sandwiches to eat in the car. But a woman (Donya Dickenson) called over to Cathy and told her they were going to leave soon, and she should take a seat. So Cathy sat with Donya, her son Everett Adkins and Daughter Diora Adkins while I got change and went back out to put money in the Muni Meter. I ordered our lunch and we chatted with Donya and her two wonderful children. They were sweet and open and talkative and affectionate. The couple at the next table, especially the young woman were swept into our conversation by the children. It was all very relaxed and, in some ways, tender. They all left, and we finished our lunch and then headed out to see other shows. Byron Kim at the James Cohan Gallery. An exhibition of small paintings of the sky with diary notes written on the paintings. Not surprising that I would feel connected to these works. After seeing a few more shows in Chelsea, we headed to the lower East side to see the Biala show and the Jamian Juliana-Villain. At the very end of the day, we had just enough time to stop off at the Peter Freeman Gallery so Cathy could get a quick peek at her show. It turns out that the Adkins/Dickerson family, from the Sullivan Street Bakery had gone to the show and when they came in Everett walked behind the desk and asked Matthew if Catherine Murphy was in the gallery.

We could, so we did at La Puerta Azul in Millbrook, NY. Arthur is wearing the sweater we gave him for Christmas.]]> It was Billy's Birthday, and we asked him if he wanted to meet for lunch on their way to Pittsfield. We told him we'd be happy to go to the Italian Restaurant which we usually never want to go to, but that Billy likes a lot. Cathy ordered something she liked quite a bit, which means going back will be a little easier. We brought Billy Isaac Mizrahi's new memoir as a present.]]> Billy and Arthur called to see if we could meet for lunch. We decided to go to Palace Dumpling in Wappingers Falls. When we got there we found out it was closed on Tuesdays, so we went next door to Gino's Pizza Restaurant. Billy told us that on Friday they were doing some casting in NYC for The Royal Family of Broadway to be presented at the Main Stage of Barrington Stage Company this summer in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He had planned to watch the Superbowl game on Sunday in Pittsfield. Because of that, Billy wasn't sure if he was going to go to the casting (it was for some smaller parts.) Cathy (Murphy), Arthur (Salvadore), and I told him he had to go. So he did. Doing so, he could still watch the Superbowl in NYC.]]> Friday morning, Catherine and I had breakfast in our room at the hotel. Then, Arielle picked up Catherine and brought her to campus to do graduate critiques. I walked around Davis and the campus for a few hours, and then met up with Catherine, Karen (Wilkin) and the graduate students for lunch.
