You Won't Believe This: Last Week We Met A Whole Bunch Of Rock Stars!

I considered filling the spaces between the photos with a bunch of rock-related puns, but even I cringed at the possibility.

So instead I'm just posting photos of some really extraordinary rocks we saw at the Smithsonian last week.

Isn't that gneiss?

Sorry.  That one just slipped through.

What Do You Think Is The Meaning Of This?

Does it make any more sense this way?

I Had Him CORNERED And Then SHE Had To Interfere And Wreck My Big Game Hunt

A chipmunk got into the downspout next to the house! I could hear it squeaking and scrabbling around.

Come here, you chipmunk!

Brazen thing!  It just dared me to find it.

You ebil, ebil thing, you!

I was prepared to take down all the siding and trim to get at it.

I know you're in there.

I did my best, but then...

I don't care if I have to dismantle the entire house to get you.

Caught in the act!

Rats! Stupid rodent.

If Price, Availability, And Legal Issues Weren't At Issue...

What famous or obscure work of art would you want to own?

Mine would be a Picasso portrait from his classical period of the 1920s, a painting I saw at a museum in Paris some elebenty years ago.  I recall a woman with a warm, rosy glow, Botticelli curls (am I mixing my artists metaphors here?), and a graceful Grecian (hence the term classical) profile, serenely looking down through half-closed eyes.  It looked something like these, except...

 

Actually, this one comes pretty close:

But, after wasting way too much time researching the painting and where I think I saw it, I'm now wondering if my addled brain might have made up the precise painting it's dwelled on for all these years.  So, I'm satisfied to say that I would happily own any of the Picasso portraits from his Classical period, but if anyone ever finds the one I really love, could you let me know?  Because otherwise I might go as insane as Miss Havisham, pining for something that never even existed.

Thanks.

Now it's your turn.  Bare your soul.  It doesn't have to be a painting or drawing.  It could be the Hope Diamond, or Princess Diana's wedding gown, or Paul McCartney's lyrics to "Let It Be."  Your deepest desire could be the Sistine Ceiling, the Gutenberg Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Mona Lisa, or Jeff Koons's Balloon Dog.  Go wild.  Be honest.  Only one entry per customer please.
