| Jenelle Esparza's installation at Seven Mintues in Heaven on March 7 |
I loved this piece by Holland Cotter in the New York Times. It reminded me of how it feels every time I get to see works of in art in person, after having studied them in books and online. I've always felt this -- "Paintings are personal documents, their surfaces as readable as diary entries."

It was really moving to listen to Rick Abath speak for the first time about having been one of the guards on duty the night of the theft at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum:
"More than anything else I'm angry about it. I don't want to be remembered for this alone. I'd like to be remembered for the good things I've done. I'm a husband, a father of two really cool kids, but they're saying it's half a billion worth of artwork now. And ultimately I'm the one who made the decision to buzz them in."
