Bill (or anyone), any thoughts on what's being used to wrap paintings these days? I used to buy big rolls of polyethylene but this archival art materials dealer is pushing Tyvek Soft Wrap. They claim it's better than polyethylene AND glassine. I would like something I could use for paintings but also my stretched paper pieces, that (a) wouldn't react and (b) would be easy to tape and untape. I'm also looking at archival shipping/packing tape.

had the full DBGB experience, 4 courses of food in the back, it was all great.....i stuck to the seafood-pork-bird-veggie zone but our 4 top went all over.....rich and needed a few vegan days to flex back, but not too buttery and well worth the prices and great beer and wine
krug 375ml's are $60, not cheap but they are $60 retail
dont know when its due for an american release but i just saw that the director of delicatessen and amelie, jean pierre jeunet, has a movie coming out this month.
i suppose there is an on the go market for single serving instant coffees but i still find it ironic that starbucks which road the wave of quality whole bean coffee would in a search for greater revenue head back in the other direction. just drinking it now (they gave me a free sample). not terrible. they did a great job of replicating their burnt flavor.

rebooting this afternoon with more champions league qualifiers. flipping from ac milan/zurich and bayern munich/juventus. kind of annoyed i lost the setanta network within the last few days. suddenly it costs $14 a month. still lots to see though.
Very few words have a birthday so precise, and so precisely known, as couch potato. It was on July 15, 1976, we are told, that couch potato came into being, uttered by Tom Iacino of Pasadena, California, during a telephone conversation. He was a member of a Southern California group humorously opposing the fads of exercise and healthy diet in favor of vegetating before the TV and eating junk food (1973). Because their lives centered on television--the boob tube (1966)--they called themselves boob tubers. Iacino apparently took the brilliant next step and substituted potato as a synonym for tuber. Thinking of where that potato sits to watch the tube, he came up with couch potato.
