  4. The randomness of your list is a great window into your mind. Love it. And you stretched me; I had to Google a couple of your items.
    I did not have to Google Tanqueray.
    Cheers and happy holidays to all.

  5. Boyd, very cool! When I was about 14, my sister, who was newly married and living in Syracuse, took me to that farm museum where we beheld the Giant and other attractions. As I recall, he was lying in sort of a colossal manger, with straw strategically placed over his personal area (as Marge Simpson calls it). The audacity and elaborateness of the hoax stuck in my mind. And Tricia, thanks for stopping in as well! I was hoping to stump my pals on a few of these... And happy holidays right back. This is my favorite weekend of the year... XO

  7. Jennifer, what a totally cool list!!! I was going to put Helen Frankenthaler in mine too, but decided to give top billing to Georgia O'Keeffe and save Helen for next year!! Also, Agnes Martin. Anyway, so much fun. I liked Ray's too when I lived in MIchigan. And yeah, library book sales rock.
