Yesterday was Cheryl & Ellen's Day of Fun: Part Deux. We left Hoboken and headed to the big city. Upon our arrival, we went to Christie's auction house. The purpose was to see an Impressionism and Modern Art preview, but because I have no concept of time, realized we were 2 days early for the preview. After looking at some silverware, we poked our heads into an actual auction that was going on.
It was a photography auction and there were a lot of fancy looking people holding paddles. During the auction, Cheryl and I learned two things: 1) A world exists where money really is no object. 2) Cheryl and I really missed our calling. There was a close-up photograph of a cigarette butt that sold for $22,000, while a photo of Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller only went for $2,000. There were some creepy photos that went for obscene amounts of cash and some pretty ones that were a steal. The auctioneer was British, so that added to the fun. I had so much fun and would love to go to auction again.
After pounding the pavement a bit, we ended up at a furniture store so Cheryl could find a wedding gift. I found the most comfortable chair ever. Alas, I didn't have $3,500 to buy it. Perhaps I can sell a photograph or something.
Alas, the Day of Fun: Part Deux had to end at some point. Hopefully Cheryl & Ellen's Day of Fun: The Wrath of the Day of Fun will happen soon.
Quote of the Day:
"I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others." -Marcus Aurelius
