    I just began re-reading The Picture of Dorian Gray this afternoon.

    I live with Dorian Gray.

    (But it was someone and something else prompted my observation. Apparently the Whitney Biennial is no laughing matter.)

    Just for the record, Dorian Gray Syndrome is not recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).

    Yes it is, Sheila. It’s just not in the index. You have to feel it.

    Cindy, I confess I am lazy. Instead of using the yarrow stalk method, I invariably resort to the coin method when consulting DSMV-IV. I miss much thereby.
