November 21sts (A Dusting of Snow)

11/21/1964

(Eva Hesse Diary)

"One must take pride in what one is and achieves. I still doubt myself in both myself and my work. In competing with Tom [Doyle] I must unconsciously be competing with my alter ego. In his achievements I see my failures."

11/21/1997

Interesting Leonard Cohen quote: "I have a lot of admiration for anyone that just stands up and does it. The content of the material doesn't concern me; it's the fact of the performance—it's the courage and the balls."

[11/21/2024: “Standing up” got redefined on the internet in the ensuing few years after 1997. By 2000, having your own website was the equivalent of “putting yourself out there”. Now it’s expected.]

Weather stunning: clear, 60 degrees

Went to SAIC Holiday art show.

"R" is for railing. (Railing of Grand Staircase)
