Word of advice to you would-be painters

You may remember a few posts ago I suggested that painting John Maynard Keynes wouldn't be particularly difficult.

Word of advice to you would-be painters: Don't ever say stuff like that.

All by way of announcing that you shouldn't expect to see me outside the NYSE on Thursday, no matter how lovely the weather. Because Mr. Keynes won't be ready for his close-up. I suppose, were there some draconian time-sensitivity about the whole thing, that I could just bing the rest of the guy out. But there isn't. And I have my dignity, despite all the Mel Torme business.
