A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

Whistler's Mother: This weekend's Financial Times had an article on James McNeill Whistler and a show on the 100th anniversary of the artist's death.
The story interested me because I enjoy Whistler's art and during high school I gave a presentation in my English class on Whistler. The reason I remember the presentation is because it was supposed to run 7 to 9 minutes -- and I talked for 27. No, I hadn't timed it before I gave it. I just figured I would talk until I was finished -- but I didn't think I'd go that long.
Lesson learned: Give someone a heavy object to throw at me if I go over. Cards, lights, etc. don't faze me.
