I was going to drive her, bit I have to go for treatment every morning Monday thru Friday an hour and 1/2 each way. Saturday we went to Hudson for Elena Sisto's opening at the Pamela Salisbury Gallery. I needed a day off from driving. So I stayed home and drew all day. I was looking forward to seeing the Charles Ray Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The show is on through June 5, so I should be able to see it later. Ben tried to see it but the line to get into the museum was so long that he didn't have enough time while Catherine was at a meeting to give out awards and prizes to artists included in the American Academy's yearly invitational. She is the head of the committee. When they got home Ben did a couple of things for us before he headed home.`; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]>
