“Magnificent pines,” the sign promised, along a trail at the Arboretum. Who could resist? I’m a sucker for the superlative. We had a whole family adventure once because we followed a sign promising “World’s Best Ham Sandwich.” If I come upon a huge chair, or a giant ice cream cone, I’ll beg someone to take my picture with it. Large stuffed bears, immense hats, the mascot at the ball game? I love it all. It’s all a moment out of the ordinary, a step into weird possibilities.
Meh.
Meh.
Meh.
