Nearly-Yearly Failure Attempt (it's an acronym)

Fall has just begun and we're already suffering bouts of art hysteria. We broads need to take a sea cure, or at least a spa day. Our quaint displays of our wares are safely hung on their respective white (or not) walls, and at least one of us has made great progress in perusing (okay, scouring) ye olde blog-o-spheare in search of civilized discussions on the topic of our show(s). Why we would ever subject ourselves to such a wringing out of our emotions is a private matter. However, we will say that the attendant roller coaster ("fearless", "terrible", "fascinating", "heavy-handed", "thought-provoking", "pretty lame", et cetera) has left us the worse for wear, just when we need our energy for grant-rejection-solicitation season.

Whatever you do, just don't ask us for a letter of recommendation!
