A couple weekends before Christmas, one of my friends from Boston came down for a weekend to visit. I took him to the Beer Can House, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Here’s Michael among the beer can art.

We also went to see the Menil Collection, which is a free museum in a very cool building in Montrose. Sadly they don’t allow photos inside, so I can’t show you how cool the space is. It’s a very varied and eclectic collection of art–definitely worth seeing. If you live here, you should go. And if you don’t live here, you should remember it in case you ever find yourself in Houston with a free afternoon.
The outside of the building was pretty cool, too, so we walked around with our cameras taking pictures outside before we left. Michael got this shot of me in action, because he thought it was funny that I was taking a picture of basically nothing.

Here’s the photo I took of “nothing.” I like it. ![]()
