8/20: lunch with twombly

I scheduled myself so that my lunch break would be long enough for me to leave campus and have a real meal on my own before returning for an afternoon of meetings.  I went to a favorite Japanese restaurant of mine and brought an issue of Artforum.  It included a series of people's reflections on Cy Twombly.  I'm glad I didn't read the issue when it originally came out (back in November 2011); it was too close to Twombly's passing, and it would have made me sad to read.  Today, instead, it felt like unexpectedly meeting up with an old friend--I had a kind of company at lunch after all.
