OF COURSE the one time I go out without a camera, there is absolute clarity of the city sky and the shiny sparkly wonder of the decoration - and the waiter brings me the whitest ever cappuccino foam in a pristine white cup, highlighting the flawless brown caramel ring of the brim. Typical. Lesson learned. 

          Also had a curious conversation with a lady who wants to put up my show. If anything becomes of it, it may be an excellent opportunity to show off again :)) (I've had time to forget about the expo pains like people forget labor.)
