Big Cat/Little Alien?

What's a writer to do?

If she wants to learn about alien life forms, she simply communes with her cat.

Enhanced Experiences?

Must everything be enhanced? With selfie opportunities, Apps and guided tours...

Maybe reading is the only time when ART and an individual interact without technology enhancing the experience?

A trip to MoMA is the starting point for the new Monster Meditation on Candy's Monsters blog.
