7. Ghost, if you want to read a very compelling book about art theft read The Goldfinch a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Donna Taart. I just finished reading this very long novel of 962 pages. it’s very compelling and very dark in places but tells the story of a 13 year old NYC boy named Theo Decker who’s mother is killed in a terrorist bombing of a NYC art museum and his accidental theft and obsessive possession of a major Dutch work Of art called The Goldfinch and his efforts to hide it over many years including its theft by organized art thieves later in the book. I won’t give the plot away but it’s very compelling and the parts with his Ukrainian fried Boris who actually turns out to be the hero at the end despite his being a major league jerk. Lots of drug references and screwed up family members especially his dad and some very wealthy adoptive Park Ave. family who were friends of his mom. I was skeptical at first but the book sucked me in and is well worth reading especially now with lots of time to read. I gave it to a friend to read and my daughter in Nashville is also reading it. It was also made into a movie which came out last year.

10. Bwahaha! Funny Sir Fur.

    This reminds me of an old joke. Remember Kathy Rigby? Gymnast who advertised feminine pads.

    We were at a dinner party and DH’s boss put a dinner napkin under his neck near his ear and asked us “who am I?” Answer: Kathy Rigby.

    We all almost spit out our food laughing.
    Now the guy could have been fired for sexual harassment.
