France part Deux: Damn, it feels good to be a Buddha.

Besides eating and drinking, what do you do in Paris? Well, museums. Mostly art museums, cause that's L's thing. I wouldn't go to many art museums without her encouragement, but she's a great person to see them with, offering a funny and idiosyncratic little art appreciation course with each trip. "The Bayeux Tapestry is not actually a tapestry, Rob, it is an embroidery," she says, apropos of nothing, saying "Rob" like Coach McGurk says "Melissa", in a tone of voice that shames me deeply for ever having thought such a thing. Even though, on reflection, I'm pretty sure I never thought about it one way or the other. And even though we aren't even looking at the Bayeux Tapestry when she says it, or any tapestry at all, in fact.
