Ernestine and I have had our first spat! It was about art, of course. I do understand that Ernestine has the aesthetic sensibilities of a bygone era but to call my assemblage 'obnoxious' and 'desultory' seems a little cruel. I suppose I should be glad she has such strong opinions about art, but why must they be so very conservative? I tried to explain about collage and assemblage and so forth. I fear she saw me in a new light after this conversation.
Mind you, I could have taken it better. I may have sulked a little. Thinking it over I feel it is up to me to extend the olive branch. So here it is my dear Ernestine, lets be friends again.
