Last week Mira got a call from her ex-boyfriend, Alan . . .  the artist. It turns out that Alan is soon to be married and needed to sell some paintings that his fiance does not want in the house. In particular, an unfinished painting called The Diver that features Mira prominently. He offered to sell her the painting.

As Mira puts it, the painting captures a time of her youth. So, she went over to Oakland, or wherever, to buy it.

The painting is now up in our dining room. I have to say that it prominently features only a portion of Mira.
