Hah!! I love this sto..."The canine scentosphere"! Hah!! I love this story. It reminds me of a story The Washington Post ran a few months ago about a world class young violinist who, as an experiment, played in a metro stop during the morning rush hour. A few people stopped to listen, and one actually was dumbstruck because she recognized him. Most adults, however, just rushed by, barely registering the incredible music. But without fail, every single child was captivated, pulling back on adult hands to listen.here today, gone tomorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203537337770906267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461963482725202534.post-67684937828558201092007-10-02T08:19:00.000-04:002007-10-02T08:19:00.000-04:00A wonderful bit of observation, and well told. Yo...A wonderful bit of observation, and well told. You forgot the "speed viewers." Five or six years ago we went to New York for a weekend with another couple. The girls went shopping. The other husband and I opted for a day of museums. Little did I know that I was traveling with a "speed viewer." My museum pace is decidedly casual, even contemplative. I figured Steve would adopt a similar pace, especially since he's a surgeon known for his patience amd attention to detail, and because he paints grand landscapes in his spare time.<BR/><BR/>But Steve would have put one of your "scanners" to shame. We covered the Museum of Natural History, the Dahesh, the Guggenheim and the Whitney all in the space of no more than three hours, including lunch and walking up and down Fifth Avenue and across the park. Steve would take one look in a gallery, spend no more than a second scanning to see if it interested him, and then move on. It was all I could to just to hang on for the race. I don't remember a damn thing I saw. I wrote the experience off as a day of exercise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
