Topher and Veronica came to visit at the end of October, in honor of Veronica's birthday. On my birthday, I got a trip to the Madison Square Dog Park, which sounds fancy but is actually just a stolen tennis ball away from a rumble at any moment. But who am I to complain? I've been reminded repeatedly that I don't even contribute around here.
Anyway, it was pretty fun! My only problem was that I couldn't figure out where to sleep: with the here-all-the-time-so-this-is-where-I'm-comfortable-people or the I-only-get-to-see-you-once-in-awhile-people. Finally, Veronica solved the problem for me:
On the first full day they were here, all the people went to the Jeff Koons exhibit at the Chateau. Imagine my surprise to find that Jeff Koons had created a larger than life sculpture of moi, fashioned to look like a balloon animal!
I had never been able to figure out why all the tourists take my photo in the gardens.* Little did I know that I'm a celebrity in Versailles!
I'm off to have a big drink of water and a nap. Stay tuned!
* editor's note: It's true. The tourists take pictures of Dempsey. Not sure why, but he's definitely in a significant number of vacation photo collages
