mars & venus, or perhaps just me & him

finally we manage an offspring free museum visit, which immediately frees us to see whatever, eat whenever, speak uninhibitedly, and actually enter a museum without facing vociferous objection.

i am fascinated by: the skeletons the gems the crystals and the hope diamond
HOM is fascinated by: the computers the airplanes and the rockets

actually i am a little disappointed in the enormous gems. perhaps it's contempt from surfeit. the stones are so behemoth that they lose their chief attraction for me, which has always been their elusive twinkly quality. a star twinkles. a luminous elephant gives indigestion.
