I ask you. "What is Art anyways?"

   My wife and I attended the Bienial at the Whitney Museum in Manhattan a few years back. Sounds kinda toney right? It's fun to put on a hipster costume and wander around like you know something. The fact is you do! You know what you like.
    In the middle of a white room there was a pile of , get this,   lard. It had been there a while. We're still at the Whitney,  you dig?  Some clear juice was oozing out from the pile on to the surrounding floor. I've been to a lot of museum and gallery shows before and since. I'm here to tell you, a pile of lard sticks with you.
   I had a neighbor once,  throw a actual tub of lard out a third floor window to see what it would look like when it hit the sidewalk.
   Tomorrow, Fun with Clay.
