...referee allowed play to continue, and the result was a 3-on-2 breakaway for the Bears. Sophomore sweeper Mike Lobach made a valiant effort to stop the Brown surge but was yellow carded as he took down a Bear player from behind...
Everything brightens as the exhibit moves to the Paris and Arles years of the late 1880s. Even the walls of the museum change from somber blue to yellow, van Gogh's favorite color. In Paris, van Gogh was busy but poor, so he often used himself as a model. Seven of his self-portraits appear in the exhibit, more than have ever been seen together before...

And, also like a butterfly, it is light and airy. The sharply angled woodwork in the towering screened-in porch could be mistaken for the patterns on a diaphanous wing. The high quality of the workmanship would also please the exacting Norm Abram of "This Old House...
