I've been thinking about all the cultural stuff that accrues to Richard: the movie The Goodbye Girl and Richard Dreyfus' performance of Richard III; Al Pacino's movie Searching for Richard; Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time; Blackadder; Robert Louis Stevenson's The Black Arrow; the horror movie The Tower of London, the punk single "Ghosts of Princes in Towers," how Richard informs certain characters in Game of Thrones, et al.

So I rewarded myself with a caramel macchiato.

Someone needs to make a "I Parked with Richard III" bumper sticker.

Heh. Or "I Parked On Richard III."
