nyc or bust

ok, so the mm wants to go to nyc instead of boston, especially if the scholar involved has no intentions of applying to mass schools.......we could go to the whitney exhibit described in my longterm cultural bible......the new yorker......for the un-informed......my relationship with this magazine goes back to 1978, when in graduate school at the cincinnati center for developmental disorders, housed at the university of cincinnati.....i would walk in the door on monday morning and find last week's new yorker on the coffee table......i took it to read, and sometimes remembered to bring it back for someone else.......my favorite framed art pieces are actually new yorker covers...............not originals.....but you have to get close to tell................for the record, several of the doctor's on our staff were holocaust survivors.....i have seen a prison camp tatoo only once in person, and that was in a case conference, when dr.oppenheimer's sleeve came up too high................i have calculated driving distances...and would desire to drive back from new haven more so than from boston.....but this is not my decision...........the scholar has the last word..............because.....i could just as well see the glass flowers at harvard (again) or the isabella gardiner museum (again), or the wonderful winslow homer pictures at the fine arts museum.....i have a lovely framed print by homer of two boys in a field that i purchased sometime in the early 90's.......it could be a portrait of my own boys...............so idyllic...............
