A Visit to a Museum

On a trip to Vienna last month, I spent a lovely cold afternoon at the Kunsthistorische Museum. I noticed that I was much more interested in paintings of St. Jerome and of the Tower of Babel than I was of many of the other works. Obviously, being a translator has affected all aspects of my life, including my taste in art!

  1. ... déformation professionelle ...

    (If my third child had been a second son, his name would have been Jerome ...)

  2. That would have been great! I assume, then, that your third child is a daughter. What is her name?

  3. Her name is Sara. (First child, Miles; second child, Luisa -- who would have been Louis if she had been a boy, in keeping with the trumpet-player theme. Coincidence: I'm listening to Miles Davis this morning!)

  4. Is there a trumpet-played named Sara? Or was it just a name you liked?
    Best wishes,

  5. I'm sure there's a trumpet player named Sara somewhere in the world, but we named my daughter Sara after my sister Sara.
