But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his?

As soon as it opens, I am going to see this.

The article in the museum newsletter states that "the exhibition highlights such supposed denizens of land, sea, and air as dragons, griffins, mermaids, sea serpents, and unicorns, with models that have to be seen to be believed. Among them will be a 17-foot-long dragon; the mythical bird of prey, the roc, with a 19-foot wing span; and a kraken, the multi-armed, ship-foundering sea monster, its massive two-foot-diameter tentacles surfacing all throughout the hall."

Reading this, my father asks me, "How would you feel if you found out you were descended from a kraken?"

"Biologically implausible, but awesome."

"Just checking," my father says equably, and goes back to reading the article.

Yeah.

You have saved me!

I'm spending nine days with Augustine's family (both parents, both younger brothers (21 and 17)) on vacation in July, and two days will be in NYC. I was wondering what on earth we could do in NYC that would be interesting to most of us -- and this is perfect!

Maybe I can get myself locked in the museum, even...

Most definitely!

And I'm hoping to go to the Brooklyn Museum sans famille to see Judy Chicago's Dinner Party. I might die of joy then.
