This past weekend I went to the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). An incredibly unassuming name for such a fabulous collection. In any case, I was impressed by the volume families there, and children of all ages were receiving impromptu crash courses in everything from German Impressionism to Fauvism. This is good stuff, [...]

We have been married long enough now that people who know us seem to have a sense that it’s inappropriate to ask. Oh sure, there was the extended family memeber that got her head bit off last summer.
