OK, so the title doesn't make much sense. But this morning, while looking for some information on an NPR report I heard while lying in bed (pretending that I didn't have to get up for work) I found an entirely different--and much happier--story.
32 unknown Jackson Pollock paintings were discovered in a storage unit and will soon be going on tour. Can you imagine being the person who found them? Herbert Matter was a friend of Pollock, and his son was cleaning out his father's storage unit when he found the paintings. I'll I can say is "Wow." No, wait, I can also say: "This tour better make a stop in Boston."
Today work will be a marathon of printing invitations and stuffing envelopes. Very exciting stuff. I might also create a mail-merge-able letter to be sent out to major donors (not a direct plea for money but rather an "info update" a.k.a. "Look at the cool stuff we're doing!" with the implicit understanding that a donation would be useful
What I wouldn't do for a color copier right now. Each invitation is printed on an ink jet printer, and each invitation is double-sided. I do them in batches of five (otherwise the printer gets cranky and jams up). Print five invite exteriors, and then reinsert them into the printer and print the invite interiors. Good times. These are the days when a cup of the house blend coffee from Flour Bakery is almost a necessity (along with a lot of willpower to not also purchase a bakery good).
Well, I should get started on that mail merge. I wouldn't be surprised if I post again later today.
