I was surprised by the title because having known Owen since you met, I couldn't believe that a museum was not his favorite place in the world. The story was wonderful and really sums up so many of all our relationships...
SWMBO and myself do like a good museum and are of the opinion that you don’t need a rainy day to visit them. During our SoCal period we could be found wandering around LACMA, where having taken in a culture fix we’d wander off to grab a light linner at the nearby (Original) Farmers Market.
Tbf, we’d more likely be at The Getty (as both the museum and villa were easier to get to from the 91320) or maximising the value of our tax write-off at the Huntington…
There are some very good museums in Los Angeles, which Mr. Los Angeles and I have somehow fallen out of the habit of frequenting, but maybe this is a wake-up call to re-establish it. I tend to find the Farmers Market something of a zoo, but can rarely resist the charms of the Ethiopian restaurants further down Fairfax. OK, that's Saturday sorted ...
I don't think I've ever misinterpreted someone like that, but I'm definitely in the no queuing camp, so I'd have done the same. I have been to big museum events, like Tutankhamun, but they're timed entry.
I'm in the same camp too, Bob, and would definitely have had the same reaction had I been smart enough to notice the line! Mr. Los Angeles is fond of quoting to me Sherlock Holmes' line to Watson that "You see but you do not observe," to which I try to object but find frustratingly paltry grounds ...
Nice wry humor, Gabrielle. So delighted to read of Mr. Los Angeles getting deep into museums.
It helps you think about things, don't it! Mary
I'm glad you enjoyed this, Mary. Hoping to check out the Dun Laoghaire museum scene one of these days ... xx

Not as surprised as Mr. Los Angeles was, Candi! Glad you liked the post ...
