Isn't this beautiful? It came up on my iGoogle 'Oil Painting of the Day' gadget. I love Gauguin. It made me think of that Philip Roth story, "Goodbye Columbus," in which the guy works at the library and a young boy continually comes in and looks at a book of Gauguin paintings. The protagonist of the story who works at the library begins to hide the book from other patrons so that little boy can find it when he comes in. Precious.

These 'Google sucks at privacy' headlines are making me nervous because I practically worship Google.

First yoga class today after work. I'm going to get fit if it kills me.

Randomness: I have Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" stuck in my head.
