Hope the wife doesn’t find out I took her stole.

You really NEED a lace collar, or a ruff, or SOMETHING!

Yes, I know. The circus maximus is in town.

Who could have known that there was hippo DNA in the transporter.

Welles’ Macbeth movie is the best overall treatment I’ve ever seen (even counting the time I played the Thane of Ross).

The Elector is rather older, but I’m reminded of two portraits I saw in the Rijksmuseum of a merchant and his son. Dad hath a lean and hungry look, Junior very puffed. I was reminded of stories of Salem, MA merchant families in which Grandpa started a fortune, Dad maintained and built it, and Sonnyboy lost it all in self-indulgence.

He was called “John the Magnanimous”. He might’ve been “big-hearted”, or he might have been just plain “big”! Of course, it would take a big heart to pump blood through a large fellow like John!

Here is another work by this artist.
