Wyeth dies

I was mostly joking yesterday that “it” happens in 3′s.  After the two TV actors passed yesterday, and today another famous person, the American Painter, Andrew Wyeth died.  I think “Christina’s World” is at MOMA, and Friday nights used to be free.

Check the schedule for current hours.
