I spent time in the television studio today. Here is a photo of a decorative lightbulb which descends from the conduits above to prove it!
But I obviously picked the wrong profession:
An installation at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto is more hands-on than your typical exhibition.
“YOKO ONO: THE RIVERBED” by the 85-year old artist, musician and activist, asks visitors to do several physical tasks, including pick up river stones —some of which include handwritten inscriptions by Ono herself—and place them in a pile.
But one woman appears to have taken the “hands-on” suggestion a little too literally. Rather than place her rock in the pile, she allegedly stole it, Laura Snapes reports for The Guardian. The rock, valued at a cool $17,500, was inscribed by Ono with the words “Love Yourself.”
Things are worth what people are willing to pay. And what a person is theoretically willing to pay and willing to insure are different things. And we’re a nonsensical people when it comes to former almost-celebrities. But still … and this part is worth repeating …
Seventeen thousand dollars?
And this evening I discovered Durand Jones & The Indications. Now you will too. They’re IU guys and they have a lot of soul:

Yesterday:
I forgot to take a picture – hurting too much – but it was finally a lovely spring day to run. It was 63° degrees. pic.twitter.com/ICG3UvlCrl
