@ahistoryinart Are portrait interiors a recognized genre?

@BryanTweed16 It seems so gratuitously punitive. Also the USGA plumping itself up as a decisive force in golf. Usually ends up as something tedious, with players biting their tongues all week.

@London_W4 Patina.

@London_W4 Sails. I’ve slept in a genoa, quite comfortably.

@SHistorians @TourPicks And taunting. (E.g. constant “E-A-G-L-E-S” chants against Scheffler). Can the PGA do nothing about this? It worsens every year.

@Matedwards7 Then she lived as beautifully as she wrote.

@arthistorynews I think it makes a very compelling statement as a work of art—surreal, if you will—that transforms it from being a mere fragment. Sort of an Erased deKooning aesthetic.

@London_W4 Would you consider, at some point, posting about the berths you use to dock along the waterways—how does the system work? Ownership of a slot? Reservations like hotels? First-come, first-served? It’s an interesting factor in boat ownership, even for us non-owners.

@SHistorians @Top100Rick @CarsleyGolf “Taken it way too far” certainly includes rude and idiotic chants of “USA” against a non-American playing in a PGA tour event. Jingoism at its worst.

@London_W4 Postscript: as a follow-up to your fishing trip, you might enjoy the novella A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean. Cheers.

@London_W4 Io had similar feelings about Jupiter. See Correggio.

@London_W4 Casting is an immensely meditative and satisfying activity. This from someone who once entangled a fish in a tree by jerking the line too hard in an attempt to “set” the hook. Delicacy is called for.

@dottie_pepper You did an excellent job. As always. We are grateful to have your insights and your reliable reporting on club selection!

@DrHelenFry A new novel with enormous inventiveness and resonance: Nonesuch by Francis Spufford.

[Rose Selavy @lateralhazard]

@McIlroyRory @David_Yarrow It has been a beautiful thing to see.

[Rose Selavy @lateralhazard]

@London_W4 I recommend a book by Christopher Buckley, Steaming to Bamboola, about his time on a tramp steamer. He’s very witty. Cheers.
