I spent a good part of the day putting off things I should have done. But I did get some things done, including going down to the museum to meet the new "fellow" who will be working for the next three months and who uses the store as an "office." I caught the tale end of the opening receptions for a number of exhibition openings and talked with sculptor Jeanine Young, who sculpted the cat that was installed in front of our bookstore just before we opened. I gushed about how many people stopped to see the cat, hug the cat, pet the cat, kiss the cat, take pictures with the cat, etc. She was very gracious. Roger, Jack and I went to La Dolce Vita for dinner (mmm, gnocchi).
