ANOTHER LIST

On hot humid days instead of going outside I try to walk/trot/dance around my apartment for a half hour at a brisk pace for some aerobic exercise, but pretty soon I'm bored and tired and look at my watch to see if it's been the twenty-five minutes it feels like only to discover it's been five. So then I feel totally bored with the back and forth in such a small space so try to come up with distractions. Yesterday it was making lists in my head of favorite artists (painters etc.) who worked in the 20th century, grouping them by the first initial of their last names. Here's as much as I did plus some more I thought of today, but I know I'm leaving a lot out:
