MFAH

We took our first trip to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Zane has
been asking to go to a museum like in one of his books (Olivia) and
was interested in seeing a Jackson Pollock painting. Of course, once
we got there, there were so many more interesting things than
paintings and sculptures: stairs, escalators, beds (benches), tall
ceilings with windows, tall window with ball-chain blinds...

When we got to the Pollock painting, I thought he'd be excited to see
something he recognized. Nope. I also thought he'd see interesting
things in the abstract sculptures. Not yet. When asked what he thought
various sculptures looked like he consistently replied "it looks like
a sculpture."

He didn't even think it was funny when I pointed out the butts on the
Greek and Roman statues.

He clearly has a future in engineering.
