Getting a phone call on the first day back from vacation by "your realtor" "just to chat".

I have nothing better to do. It's not like I'm goddamn busy or anything.

More and more, the composition happened in his mind rather than on the canvas.

U.S. will ‘soon’ annex Greenland, wife of top Trump aide implies
A post by Katie Miller suggesting Greenland will “soon” fall under U.S. control draws a diplomatic response from Denmark and adds to growing Arctic friction.

Ya know that "great idea" you had, but didn't get around to?
Well, it's not your idea anymore.
You let it go for too long.
Someone else took it in and fed it and cared for it.
It's their idea now.

At 82, Monet learned he had cataracts. He wrote: “I realized with terror that I could see nothing with my right eye.”
After three surgeries, his colors shifted—fiery reds and yellows dominate his late works. What he lost in sight, he gained in vision.
