Philadelphia in the winter was never on my list of places to visit. I was=
=20
close to joining W. C. Fields in mentioning the city in my Epitaph (subject=
=20
line.) Of course, Fields HATED Philadelphia and I would not go that far.=20
But the following exhibits at the Philadelphia Museum of Art=20
(http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/) would make a potter change their=
=20
mind.

The Poetry of Clay: The Art of Toshiko Takaezu
August 7, 2004 - March 6, 2005

African Art, African Voices: Long Steps Never Broke a Back
October 2, 2004 - January 2, 2005
(Includes works by Magdalena Odundo.)

"I find I have a great lot to learn =96 or unlearn. I seem to know far too=

much and this knowledge obscures the really significant facts, but I am=20
getting on." -- Charles Rennie Mackintosh
