How one cat can take up an entire couch (click on photo above).

Today I spent a few hours at the Alte Pinakothek, one of Munich's major museums. They have a bunch of European art from the middle ages and later. I'd never been before, but it was a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. Also, they had a very good audioguide in English, which I always enjoy. Lots of Raphael, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, and many artists I'd never heard of before -- very enjoyable.

I also researched German classes to see when I should take my next one. I am considering a class that meets for most of February, afternoons Monday through Thursday. It won't be quite the same as the two weeks I spent in the super-intensive course last fall (40 hours of instruction per week), but I think it could be really helpful to my conversation and grammar.

I spent a little while yesterday evening working on the pictures from the Deutsches Museum; I still have to write the text before I can publish the gallery. Hang in there!

Now it's time to make dinner. The menu tonight is spaghetti with meat sauce, and garlic bread. Yum!
