Smithsonian American Art Museum

July 22 Pre-Covid
I'm not sure why this never posted, so here it is, released from drafts:
When I put people's contact information in my phone, I take a picture of them to add to the contact so I remember them easier. I don't always tell them I'm taking the picture.
Here's Amy!

And Terrence, who goes by Chip, but I didn't know that until 3 days in.

And here's Ron -- I bet he does a Fulbright within a few years.

This is a butt, I grant you, but I didn't take the picture just because Viv cracks up every time she hears someone say "butt". This is one of the pieces I was using for...oh, fine. Think what you want. It's a butt picture. Jeez.














What? WHAT???? Walt Whitman probably stood exactly where I am RIGHT NOW? WHAT??? How are you all being so cool about this? Why am I the only one freaking out?
Spoiler: at one point Elizabeth, one of the SAAMmers, caught me hugging a column and saying, "I'm so happy right now!"
