I'm in town for the opening of the Atlantic City Arts Foundation's "Ministry of ARTeriors" show, to which I contributed a puzzle. it's a cool show, if you're in town you should check it out!

this had me casting my mind's eye back through the history of nyc mayors to see who I could imagine in a pinky ring and I think I got it in one
