A great moment for Barcelona and for Spain, no doubt, and quite the spectacle for all to see. BUT ... the architecture of the building has always been polarizing. Personally, I find its design at best unconventional and at worst approaching the grotesque, lacking in both charm and grace. Big? Absolutely! Warm, comforting, inviting? For me, not so much, as I prefer the lines and symmetry of St. Patrick's in New York, London's Westminster Abbey, or St. Peter's in Rome; traditional vs avant-garde. But some love escargot and others don't. It's a matter of taste.

OMG! That means my mother was an old lady when I was born! (she was 39, and I was her first child). I, on the other hand, believed in starting everything young: I came out as gay at 17, had settled down with my partner at 25, and retired at 60.
