MetPublications: some amazing stuff here.

MetPublications is a portal to the Met’s comprehensive publishing program. Beginning with nearly 650 titles published from 1964 to the present, this resource will continue to expand and could eventually offer access to nearly all books, Bulletins, and Journals published by the Metropolitan Museum since the Met’s founding in 1870. It will also include online publications.

    I will be working, mostly away from my office, also known as my work corner in the living room. Then Ann and I will be staying home for New Years Eve with snacks and bubbly and movies and cribbage.

    That sounds lovely. Happy New Year to you and Ann.

    It will surprise nobody to hear that I have little or no idea what I’m doing tonight. I have to work for a while longer, then? We’ll see.
