When Bob and I first became friends when we discovered that we both had majored in art. We started going to some art museums together -- but that was just the beginning. He and I went on so many cultural outings together! (Here are the web addresses for a few of these places.) http://historicrichmondtown.org/ http://www.metmuseum.org/ http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/home.php http://www.bbg.org/ (Brooklyn Botanic Garden) http://snug-harbor.org/ Once we even went to Coney Island together. Bob remembered going there as a child. It was new to me. We thought we had gone into a fun house. But it turned out to be a strange, unplesant kind of ride that spun you in a circle while the floor fell away as it sucked you against the wall. It finished us both for the evening. Our last outing together was this past winter, just after the Christmas holidays. We went to the Museum of Natural History. We watched all of the films.
