she told me i look like the mona lisa.
in that photo.
i think it's the smile.
we went to the cleveland museum of art on sunday. it was free and it was art, so it was a must. we walked thru the large rooms with high ceilings, carefully walking on the wooden floors. it was the first real art museum we'd been to together. and to be truthful, i wasn't sure if it would interest b. but we both loved it. there was a really great selection and i liked how from even from a distance i could identify the artist of most pieces. it harkened me back to my days of art history - my favourite class in college. as we left brendan summarized our time there wonderfully. he articulated it in a way that i've never been able to. he said "i like art museums because they make you feel" (the proverbial you). we're both feelers, so this appeals to us a great deal. it's true, the art we saw, it envoked a response in us. i can't really describe it other than it made us feel. i look forward to many more museums in our future.
at school this week, b was telling his classmate about our time in cleveland. visiting the rock and roll hall of fame and the art museum. she asked him "does lesley like those things?" and he said "yes, that's why i married her". it wasn't until that moment that i realized that not everyone appreciates history, or spending their time exploring it. sometimes i forget exactly well suited b and i are. it's easy to take that forgranted.

they had to count them all.
