 We\u2019re in the month of mad March hares, Caesars in fear of Ides, and St Patrick to quote Sotherans, an upscale English book store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about three a.m. I  was pulsing through my cell\u2019s  photos and came across Dr. Willie Parker\u2019s 2017 visit to Judson. Dr. Parker is a Black southern physician who aids women who want\/need abortions. His book, LIFE WORK: A MORAL ARGUMENT OF CHOICE, says it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one thing it doesn\u2019t do is extol Dr. Parker\u2019s courage and modesty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Friday I raced to the Met to see the Walt Disney exhibit, Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts.  There\u2019s nothing like art history to dampen enthusiasm. The early Disneys – I\u2019m thinking of Pinocchio, Bambi, Snow White – were fun, full of adventure and gaiety. The exhibit was weighted down with ponderous expositions on the influence of French design on the early films. Bored yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, my museum pal and I stumbled upon the Met\u2019s Costume exhibit. Such fun. Like the elderly teenagers we both are, we had a fine time criticizing and praising the various costumes. Here\u2019s one of my favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
