Have you ever been in a store of some kind and seen something you immediately knew you had to buy? There was simply no question about it. In fact, you were not quite sure how you had lived for so long without this thing in your life. As I was perusing antique stores in Montrose this afternoon, I saw this bust of Homer from across the store and experienced the very moment I have just described. I wouldn't call myself a fan of Homer, per se; I read and enjoyed the Odyssey, but rumors are afloat that Homer wasn't even the author of the epic poem. Regardless, this fantastic nugget of plaster is now in my possession and life seems much more complete. I was also lucky enough to snag an amazing oriental rug after experiencing this moment for a second time in one day. The rug was a bit more difficult to transport than Homer, but it was well worth the schlepping. It really ties the room together.
