I think we all feel like that about ourselves. I often say that the most interesting thing about me is my friends, but then I think: why would they want to be around me?

As a person who thinks in her mouth (to paraphrase Carrie Fisher) I think there might have been a bit of a fracas had I met Dan Graham in those circumstances. Not so much now that I'm in my 60s, but when I was younger I took some pleasure in going after certain kinds of men. One particularly brash example was at a dinner with Robert Irwin and a mutual friend.

Anyway, what I want to say here is that I love reading your meditations on the art world and other things. I have been an art history professor for most of my professional life, with lots of musician friends, and a few artist friends, but never anywhere central to the art world, unless Pittsburgh is part of that. So you expand my worldview, and I think you would be wonderful to talk to.
