My relationship with the Eiffel Tower is pretty unambiguous. I really love the old thing. Before I'd written a word for this site, I had my profile shot, the one you see at the top of this page. I didn't take it, but I could have a million times over. It's been almost ten years since I've been to Paris but I can still see the tower up close, or hear her elevators clanking up and down whenever I close my eyes.
