Our electric bill spiked in perfect synchronization with my mania. We're working on theories. I'm donating a 650-year-old celadon vessel from the Longquan kilns to the local art museum for a tax deduction rather than dump it in a down market. I can't tell if this is a prudent or hypomanic strategy at the moment, but it's worked well for me for eight years. Museum donations are a political process approved by committee, so although the celadon has the approval of the head curator of Asian art, the donation offer could still get dinged in committee. It's always a relief to relinquish possession of something so rare and delicate. Our homeowner's policy wouldn't even cover the celadon with a current insurance replacement value appraisal. Asian art traffic requires constant risk analysis, our insurance coverage blows, and my judgement may be off.
