We are attending the opening of artist Edie Nadelhaft's new show "Cuddle" at BAMA Galleries in Hoboken tomorrow evening. You should too.

Edie's a friend of ours, but we love her work over and above the obligations of friendship, and we wouldn't preach what we don't practice. If you've ever seen the large painting of Gerber daisies that hangs in our salon, which I bought for Laura one Christmas, then you've seen Edie's work. Over the years the subjects of her paintings have included barbed wire, chains, body parts, jacks, panties, flowers, cows, and now those cuddly, lovable flies.

I can't wait to see these new paintings in their lifesize incarnations, and I hope we'll see you there too.
