Live from York Avenue: “Can You Top This?” with Tobias Meyer as Host

Just a reminder: You can watch the auction action tonight, as I will, from the comfort of the computer screen. “The Price is Right” starts at 7 p.m., Eastern Auction Time. If you really want to watch the paint dry, you can view the countdown to zero-hour on the already live link on Sotheby’s website. Can we stand the suspense?
My friendly colleague Lindsay Pollock of Bloomberg has just suggested that I pick up “a bucket of popcorn to accompany the show.”
She also took the occasion to tease me, saying that she, too, beat me to the Rothko story. She even helpfully provided the link.
Cancel the popcorn. I want a double-scoop rhubarb sundae with bitter-herb topping.
