Boston
Ah, Jeff,
I have been waiting til your return and subsequent tales of your excursion into Boston and the Rembrandt exhibit, particularly.
It sounds great and makes me look forward to our trip to Chicago, which is host to the Rembrandt exhibit, next. Tickets go on sale Jan 5th; with your advice I will be sure to order them as soon as I can.
Maybe some day I will get to Boston, I just spent an evening, Wednesday, at the bookstore reading abour Sargent and his paintings in the city of Boston. All this talk here about the painting of the four Boit sisters, what was your impression seeing it in person? Theories abounding, I wonder what my emotional reaction would be upon seeing it. I read one "take" which said it was a rendering of the growing stages of childhood which I found much less romantic than the speculations of an awareness by Sargent of the future precariousness of these sisters in later life, never marrying, mental institutions, etc.
Take care of yourself Jeff, get over that bug!

PS Sorry, Jeff, I meant for this to be a reply to your post, not a new thread. Blame my weak mindedness on the tryptophan from yesterday's Turkey - tryptophan hangover??
