Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
I’ve come to think of this post as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to drop a note. The diarist gets to sleep in if she so desires and can show up long after the post is published. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.

Good morning everyone. I’ve been under the weather (and under the covers) for several days this week and am just now back to my old, annoying self. But my planned post on the Cubist artist Marie Laurencin is still only an idea somewhere in the back of my aching head. So, this Thursday I figured we just listen to a bit of Paul Simon and just spend some time catching up.
