The Museum of Glass

Tanya and I went to the Museum of Glass today. I balked a little at the $12 admission fee. It wasn't the fee...I just believe in the express mode for viewing museums. The express mode involves me sprinting by any and all static displays... Therefore, the admission price is wasted on me.
  I much prefer to spend $12 bucks in a pseudo religious way...like at a strip club. Yes, there, at least, when I look at something I can't touch...I can say, "Nice job, God!"

Of course... I never, ever go to those places. But if I did...you know...just sayin'.

Okay...on a serious note:

It was very cool watching the artists make glass objects. They had theater seating in front of the kilns, and a narrator announcing what the artists were doing. That was worth the twelve bucks.

Well, you know what they say--people who visit glass museums should not throw invectives.

I watched in fascination as they shaped the glass. I'm a guy...anything melted intrigues me.
