Chris Ashley's Top Ten for 2008 [mailed to me pre-formatted with all the html - L.M.]

[that was my header, and those are still my line breaks, two more line breaks after this and then you get Chris's guaranteed genuine HTML, so wait for it! - L.M.]

**************[OK, these asteriks are mine too, his html is next, ...after two more line breaks. - L.M.]**************

I've never made a Top Ten list before. I barely went to galleries or museums in 2008. I rarely went to the movies. I am having a hardtime remembering this year. In April, Ann and I were in Germany, France, and Belgium. It seems like I walked my dog a lot, I was pretty occupied with making work for a couple of shows, and there's the day job. Here are a few things I can think of:

Notre-Dame-la-Grande, Poitiers, France, inside and out.. It is the oldest romanesque architecture church in Europe.
The Matisse room at the Pompidou.
Drinking hot chocolate from Angelina's on Rue du Rivoli in the Tuileries.
Visiting the Groeningemuseum's storage facility in Bruges to see Raoul de Keyser works on paper.
Regime Change:
1. Barack Obama est élu président des Etats-Unis (LeMonde.fr)
2. Obama wird neuer US-President (Zeit.de)
3. Obama nieuwe president van de VS (DeMorgen.be)
4. Obama presidente, l'America cambia (ilGiornale.it)
5. ...and many more
Cable TV on-demand finally offered the great film "Slaptshot." I watched it three times. Speaking of Paul Newman (RIP), I can't remember watching "Cool Hand Luke" this year; if I didn't, then I broke a streak running several years.
Cable TV on-demand finally offered "Breaking Away." I watched it twice.
I watched "Casablanca" twice. Again.
I watched the "Wizard of Oz." Again.
Free Muntadhar al-Zaidi! I wished he'd just shouted, "I throw my shoe at you! Phooey!" and then left the room.
