Today went by the Art Institute Museum, which Has free admission on thursday nights, sweet. Is amazingly big . I was darting from exhibit to exhibit and I think maybe I saw a little over a half of what was even available to see, and that doesn't count all their modern and much of their impressionist collection which is under renovation. Particular favorite pieces included Bouguereau's " Bathers ", Lefebvre's "Odalisque", Ivan Albright's "Picture of Dorian Gray", Charles Green Shaw's "Polygons", and Charles Howard's "Trinity". Afterwords had a very enjoyable dinner with teki and his girlfriend whose name I tragically forgot. She had some particularly good grading/teaching horror stories.
