Just unbelievable. What I also love is the way the Met displays the sculptures in the gallery with largely natural light. I've only been able to go there once, as someone who goes often, do you think the look and feel of the sculptures vary wildly depending on the time of day/year?

Ugolino and His Sons blew my mind in a way no other piece of art ever has. When I see an incredible painting, I can't comprehend how someone has the vision and talent to create it. But with sculpture there's also such an element of "oh my God, how is it technically possible to do that with rock?!"

I feel like you should further test the capacity of the time capsule by including a beer snake from the Wrigley bleachers to commemorate Anthony Rizzo's retirement. The game where he sat out there and somehow clanked Moises Ballesteros' first Major League home run will stick with me forever.

Mine is also from The Stand but a different line. Early on when King lists all of the ways people died, not necessarily due to the virus, he responds by writing "And it was no great loss." Which I often say, usually when someone objectionable has been eliminated from a reality competition.

Oh my God, he died?!?! Definitely going to drop him in my rankings now. 😉
