Hurricane Sandy may have passed but the storm is just beginning. The situation around New York is not over and is in fact getting worse for many people. If you can't get someone food, water, candles, coats, gloves, bleach, gas, or a place to sleep then donate to the Red Cross. Don't forget that many people in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and parts of Pennsylvania are still hurting and in real need.
And don't forget to vote on Tuesday. I am not just voting for the next four years, I'm thinking about the next forty. I'm voting for the kind of place I want my daughters and son to live in. I don't need a CEO of America, Inc. I'm voting for a president for the people. Find your polling place here.
Some ideas are nearly impossible to define, but they can make you curious, and that might be one way towards a little satisfaction. Plus, some things, you just can't take too seriously.

"Luster seeps through hairline cracks; others seem to channel the source of their illumination from a hidden presence behind the wall, in a way that evokes Dan Flavin’s fluorescent tubes... In this show... painting is a vehicle for more than mere contemplation, and something greater than a state of mind." Art Forum
