Looking at this photo starts me thinking about how I would paint it. Big. And very abstract. And definitely include the green and red plastic rings.

I must say, the last couple of days have been thrilling indeed. The NY Times City Room Blog and Gawker.com both picked up my Monday post and I got 1,300 hits in one day. That's the big time for me, folks, and I'll likely not see that again; in fact, I'm nowhere near that number today. Many comments on Gawker and they came with their knives sharpened. Pretty funny. And thank you, those of you who commented on this blog, yes, even anonymous. I was very glad to hear from you all.

See map.
