Michelangleo

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Oh, the Kimbell. On the less tormented side, saw there a fine Georges de
La Tour exhibit way back when. The museum is....clutch.

If I only could release the clutch [incurable stickshifter, this European]
in front of the Kimbell right now and start driving south on I-35, passing
Waco halfway to the town I love.
