Try a spatula.
I just wanted to tell you that I learned from your Magic Eraser/Sharpie/Matisse poster disaster. (Was it a Matisse?) I have a 11×14 photo with an infuriating scratch on it. I was sore tempted to fiddle with it using sundry cob-job tools. But quickly to my mind came the memory of your folly. So I decided just to suck it up, and live with the scratch. Thank you for your wisdom.
I thought about my red-eye pen. I even held it gently in my hand for a moment, wondering…then I remembered my acid-free, waterproof, fade-proof, neat-o scrapbook pen. And it worked, which was a big risk, actually (since the photo cost $150…and wasn’t mine). But I’m a maverick; I’ve always been one to live life on the edge. I’m a wild card, I tell you.
If God is watching us, as some believers suggest, as though we were a television show and God had a lot of free time, the deity would surely be bemused by how dumbed-down devotion has sometimes become in this so-called modern era. How might an omnipotent being with the long view of history respond to those who visit the traveling exhibit of a grilled-cheese sandwich, sold on eBay, that is said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary? It certainly argues against intelligent design, or at least intelligent design in humans.Anna Quindlen (1953- ) Newsweek (January 2, 2006)

A SPATULA! You always have been the brilliant one. Of course, I could also stop making really big holes in the wallâ
