This Week:

  • My Wife and I finished watching “Color of Night” on the Criterion Channel. It’s a sumptuously shot and totally preposterous movie where Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist who moves to LA after one of his patients commits suicide, only to take over his best friend’s therapy group after the friend is murdered by one of the patients. It has outrageous violence, gratuitous sex, and a monstrously great cast including Brad Dourif, Lance Henriksen, Lesley Ann Warren, Scott Bakula, and Ruben Blades. It’s totally insane but pretty engrossing in its insanity.
  • The Museum brought on two new summer employees. Welcome Ethan and Stephanie!
  • I supervised the return of our exhibit “Black Lives at Hartwick Then and Now” back into the Museum galleries, and the painting over some old labels in the Herzog gallery.
  • We did some great long-term planning for a whole bunch of summer programs for kids. It’s going to be a busy June and July at the Museum!
  • We dealt with pretty awful air from the Canadian wildfires..
  • I enjoyed listening to Maron’s interview with William Shatner on WTF, which was as bonkers as you’d expect from two old narcissistic performers.
