Not long after I’d had my ostomy surgery, I started thinking about what sort of a collection I could start amassing. I wanted something to focus on other than my battered body, and I’d never had a collection of anything since my mother, when I was off in college, tossed my prized baseball card collection into the trash, a heedless crime for which I never forgave her. The value of that collection would have allowed me to retire ten years before I did. Anyway, I settled on collecting “Three Monkeys.” The concept of “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” had always fascinated me. I’ve now got a nice little collection, an example of which is in a photo I’ve just added to my photos here. It’s rendered in heavy porcelain and has a prominent spot in my office.
