old ladies

so the other day i decided to eat lunch outside, it was a nice day. i picked a bench that i thought would be safe so i could read a little before my political science class. i was wrong...the bench wasn't safe at all. there was an old lady sitting on the opposite end reading a french poetry book. i guess she just thought it would be fun to get one from the library. she said it was the same book she read when she was at BYU in a beginning french class in the 1940s and she just wanted to see if she could still understand it all. i ended up talking to this woman for an entire hour. she would just not let me go! or eat for that matter...we talked about everything. and i mean everything. her grandsons, les miserables, euthanasia, general authorities, her dying friends, composers, the opera...and the list goes on. she kept using words like "grand" and "beastly." i was quite entertained. she told me about a professor she once had that asked her to name 10 great artists and she couldn't. "ask me now" she said. that inspired me to make my own list, but it was way too hard, i couldn't narrow it down to ten...so tell me, who are your favorite artists?
