“Hal, this is lipstick. I want you to send it to NASA!” has to be one of the greatest opening lines in art restoration history. The bathtub, the mono-atomic oxygen, the intern’s sacrificial kiss… this is pure gold.

Who needs fiction when you’ve got bas-relief, Warhol, and a little dirty clear acrylic? Travel and time did their thing - but wow, what a chapter.

What about your Denmark stories?
