I’ve been struck down by the same plague that seems to be circling my office like a grumpy vulture. Streaming eyes and nose, aching jaw and head, and a throat that feels like sandpaper.

Rick and I bought this last year after her SF MoMa exhibit, and have only just got around to hanging it in our new place. I get endless amounts of joy from looking at it, so was today’s ray of light:
