To me, it calls out for a caption: "Why is this weird chick on my right staring at me? Does she suspect that a couple of midgets are hiding under my skirt?"<br />Oh, and that girl next to the dog? That is one ugly little broad. I've seen mud fences which were more attractive.<br />Spain is one of my favorite countries, although I never made it to Madrid.

While the story was entertaining, I especially enjoyed your dissection of the picture -- you caused me to notice details I'd glossed over when I first looked at it, and now the painting is stuck in my mind.

I spend a lot of time in museums and Mrs. C. tends to drift off and leave me to my adventures. Perhaps I'm deluding myself, but I think museum guards like me because I talk to them and this can be tedious work. Another museum mishap you might enjoy involves me crashing a private event at the Met in New York.
