One time we were watching, and he turned to me and asked in all seriousness, "So are the Simpsons really a typical American family?" I had a good laugh with that one. <br /><br />As I did with the end of your post. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where after reading the news, we wonder whether Homer Simpson also was in charge of the Japanese nuclear program.</i>Kim Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-92032496712141021322011-03-14T23:19:02.028-06:002011-03-14T23:19:02.028-06:00I, however, was starting to look a lot like the &q...I, however, was starting to look a lot like the "husband."Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-76041206067952627062011-03-14T22:10:41.251-06:002011-03-14T22:10:41.251-06:00Very enjoyable post!

The nearest archaeology program was in, I believe, New Mexico at that time, and his parents were struggling like most of the nation. He could not do it, which he always regretted.<br /><br />Since I followed in his occupational footsteps, I likely would have been an archaeologist too had he gone that route. I wish that had happened.<br /><br />Great photos on this post, señor.Felipe Zapatahttp://tzuru4.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-14539476086135546032011-03-14T07:57:58.580-06:002011-03-14T07:57:58.580-06:00You may be correct.

After all the stoic pieces, it's always nice to find the humor an artist was aiming for, or even if he wasn't being humorous, to find it anyway.<br /><br />Did you notice with the piece of your lady neighbor, the two different styles used between the two hands and the foot? I see that style of the hands in the Colima, Nayarit and Jalisco pre-Columbian pieces I collect. But those toes are as realistic as anything Michelangelo ever did. What an achievement!<br /><br />Thanks for the last look at the museum--I appreciate your humor!Patynoreply@blogger.com
