I bought a wonderful painting from my friend and spiritual counselor Pam White, and I brought it to my friend George Forss, the brilliant photographer (he is doing a portrait of me, Maria and Frieda for “Second Chance Dog.”) and he found a wonderful frame for it, it is going over the mantle in the living room. I wanted it for my study, but the former girlfriend took it away from me, and I do not cross her lightly. She is Sicilian, and does not generally take orders from men. I call this painting “Morning Heart,” it is beautiful, uplifting and heartwarming, three hearts swimming up into the world.

I got George to stand still (he doesn’t pose) while I got this shot outside of his gallery, the Ginofor Gallery in Cambridge, N.Y.
