This New England

-- Dana Schultz, "How We Drive'' (2007). Oil on canvas.

As if to shout out that it won't sell its collection after all, despite the financial meltdown and general and losing a bundle to Bernie Madoff in particular, Brandeis's Rose Art Museum (in Waltham, Mass.) is having a big show of its terrific permanent collection of modern and contemporary works.

The show will last from Oct 28 to next May 24, suggesting that it will also be a good money-saver for the museum. Putting up stuff it already has in house is cheaper than pulling in stuff from outside.

Synchronicity. I put down the book I'm reading: Traffic. Why we drive the way we do.

And checked out your fine blog. Only to see that work of art, under which were the words:

How we drive

Traffic's a fun read. Written by Tom Vanderbilt. One of those Vanderbilts who hung out on Belleview Avenue long ago? Don't know. I could Google it.
