I kept telling myself to go to the Louvre Museum, but it seemed to me to require the dedication of en entire day, and of course an entirely free day is a rare thing indeed. So, I finally just bought an annual pass, in fact a membership in the Societé des Amis du Louvre, or Group of Friends of the Louvre, so I could take my time and appreciate all there is to offer at a leisurely pace, on a whim even. One Sunday I was leaving after a couple hours in the section of Egyptian artifacts (note: a couple hours is not enough to see the Egyptian collection!) and I passed this sculpture set into the wall. It faces several others that are about 10 feet tall, and is related to a story about a father and son. But when I saw it, I thought "That's exactly how I feel after a day trying to draw presentation schematics using MS Powerpoint!"
