I used to have a shopping list from Whole Foods around somewhere; but though it would have more of a healthy, eco-friendly, upscale flair, would it make me seem too bourgeois? If it's too long, would I look pompous, or greedy? If it's too short, would I be derided as lower class? If it didn't contain all the letters of the alphabet, would I be doomed to the status of a minor poet? The rigors of Conceptual Art overwhelmed me in the end. Good luck with it.

Best,
