actually no. I am probably, from most people's perspectives, odd. Or so I
have been told in other words. Eccentric is a word commonly used about me.

The Rodin Museum, which I have visited on more than one occasion in the
past, is on the central west side, in the same area as the Philadelphia
Museum shown often in the movie "Rocky". It wasn't truly convenient for us
to get to, and definitely not on days where we were in classes 9-5.

opportunity, i guess this virtual tour will have to do.

yes, but do you have any aliens from another planet using them?

or perhaps geeks such as me?
