And please enjoy this picture of me on a horse - only on that horse because I was told I had to if I wanted to see wild flamingos in southern France.

My crisp, clear Rickey Henderson memory is standing in front of the all-time stolen bases leader board at the Baseball Hall or Fame with my dad when I was, let's say, 13, and my dad just pointed at Rickey's name and said, "no matter how long he plays, Kenny Lofton will never pass this man."

My Spotify Wrapped is always a hilarious mess because I usually am using it to figure out if I want to buy music, or looking for other music that sounds like music I know I like.

Adding this one, even though they are not technically in a museum, because they are talking about art and it made me laugh. From Kirsty Greenwood's THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE

Ok, here's one I never posted: Josh and my most beloved dirtbag Ari visit the Frick in YOU, AGAIN. All mentions of the Fragonard room are good mentions.

I don't really like Wicked that much, but I was also once this child so it's not hard for me to get excited about lots of Wizard of Oz talk...

In TOO MUCH MAN, by Katy James, they visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art and look at Cézanne's Large Bathers, an absolutely fucking delightful cameo that is 100% on point art historically speaking.

Gotta love a romance hero who loves a good Sisley!
In THE BRIDE GOES ROGUE by Joanna Shupe, the heroine dreams of opening a modern art museum, and she mostly has good taste. (I am relatively sure the Renoir is modeled on one I would not throw into a fire.)

Annnnd another one - the National Air and Space Museum in DC in Annabeth Albert's CONNECTION ERROR. There's a scene on the next page where a kid almost plunges over a railing, and let me just say I have LOTS of work thoughts about that scenario.

Here's another one - "Mr. Humboldt's Museum" of fossils and natural history in RAVISHED by Amanda Quick. This one isn't real, I'm pretty sure, but seems based on a lot of wunderkammer situations and takes the name of the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
