Maybe we need to start holding weekly competitions for the best comment, ha. I will find some prize to mail to the winner (maybe I’ll go steal that book from the coffee shop and mail it to Elizabeth.)

I am so curious about that man. Did he buy something!? Did he go to auctions just to see the art? Can you do that... just attend an auction?

Your ending sentence is absolutely beautiful.

All of it is wonder-full.

This makes me think of the age-old question: What is beauty? And also, is beauty more than in the eye of the beholder? This gentleman, in my opinion, seems to have a good eye.
