Contemporary Wing of the MFA in Boston

They know how to deal with styrofoam coffee cups and excited tourists...a magnificent space.

It's all in the gesture

Velvet can disguise a vapid brain, praying always helps, the mood is in the folds, action in the gesture and this fellow (shall we call him "Charlie") on the T may be turned into a painting soon.

In Boston's Museum of Fine Arts Contemporary Wing, coffee cups are transformed into enormous clouds. They really have given up all the business about tea.

In Boston, tea has been replaced by flights of coffee

No Bullet-proof coffee yet, but definitely the occasional "Sidewalk Situation"

Steps and stairs

Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato) is easily burned off one step at a time.
