Hello
If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about a strange conversation If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,
A Conversation
Let me share a conversation with you. It took place over several days.
This was a message that came to me out of the blue on WhatsApp. I decided to run with it and see where it went.
Day One
DF: Hello, Thomas. My assistant, Sonia, recommended you to me. This is D F, and I’m happy to connect with you here. 2:52 p.m.
later
ME: I’m not certain what your business is, but I’m willing to listen, D. 8:15 P.m.
Next Day
DF: I thought I’d tell you about my new project, the Privé Paradis smart hotel designed by the Ritz-Carlton and operated by Marriott. We will integrate various hotel facilities, including executive restaurants, private galleries, and retail malls.
In addition, we will collaborate with Abbott Laboratories to develop the Astrotech Pharm Medical Center, which combines health technology with an AI-driven drug development platform. 11:59 AM.
Next Day
ME: “How can I, an artist, be of interest to you?” 11:08 a.m.

DF: Because you’re too old to understand? Right? 8:40 p.m.
L OL, 8:40 p.m.
Because you’re stupid and only know how to play with useless works of art and worthless works of art? Is that right? 8:41 p.m.
