Like the quirkiness in both, Nathan. I'm constantly amazed at what is 
produced for dog lovers!

Hope your son settles in to the job - and the States - quickly.

I just got back from a couple of days in Madrid with my son. Alicante is 
about 450 km from Madrid, and I wanted to have a father-and-son trip before 
he heads to California at the end of the month to begin his professional 
career (aka as Real Life where you have to worry about health insurance, car 
loans etc.).

We had a wonderful time. Madrid is one of the world's great cities. The 
problem is that most visitors only see the tourist traps of Plaza Mayor and 
the surrounding areas. Fortunately, I know the city well by now and was able 
to show my son the REAL parts of Madrid.

Yesterday we walked around the Rastro neighbourhood and happened upon this 
event which included a jazz band and a se?orita:

Today's highlight was El Museo del Prado, one of the world's greatest art 
galleries, with two of my all-time favourite painters, Goya and Bosch, well 
represented. Afterwards, we had lunch before heading home to Alicante, and 
had most pleasant company at the neighbouring table:
