As much as I appreciate them, I don’t usually post the many “love your blog” comments that hit my inbox, since my egotistical vanity is already amply in evidence in this space. But my semi-valedictory Middle-Aged Blog Slog post evoked such an outpouring of warm responses that I felt I should gratefully acknowledge them by adding a few (with permission) to the end of that essay, which ran on Apr. 23.
I particularly liked the left-handed compliment (I’m a lefty) from Ron Hartwig, the J. Paul Getty Trust’s vice president for communications, who seems to find me irritating but irresistible. That’s pretty much what I’m going for (as CultureSpouse can also confirm).
Thanks for all of your kind words. Don’t dare delete CultureGrrl from your daily “Quick Tabs,” though. Among the posts you can expect this week: My dissection of the latest deaccession news (Eakinses from the Philadelphia Museum; Tamayo from the Maier Museum). And you’ve got to be salivating when Filler fillets yet another architect—also COMING THIS WEEK. I’ll give you a hint: It’s not fish; it’s fowl.
