Reblogged from SavvyCitiZen: I had already visited the old Salvador Dalí museum in St. Petersburg (near Tampa) back in 2009 give or take.

Reblogged from The Joy of Cheese: Fromage of the Day, 12.23.11: Andante Picolo.

Reblogged from Yilin Wang: When I talk to people about writers, artists, performers, and other successful people, I often hear them described as “talented” or “genius”.
