As in AWE as I could be....

a cane should only be allowed in the hands of a five year old boy when the distance between other living beings and famous works of art is greater than 50 yards.  NANA?  DID YOU GIVE THIS TO HIM????

(by the way, is that a man bag in red behind brian???  Or a European carry-all??  sorry Ian.   Couldn't resist making fun of you walking around the art museum with my purse.  Shame on me.  I truly appreciate you hauling my lenses and assorted girl junk..... You have proven that you are comfortable with your masculinity and I admire that.  and yet I still make fun of you....)

Despite the fact that I was distracted by thoughts of what my son could potentially do with that cane in his hand to these famous and priceless works of art, it was amazing to be in the National Gallery of Art on the Mall in DC this past weekend. Wow. Such famous paintings. Truly amazing and surreal. And, no, luckily Evan did not cane the great works of Monet et al we all have admired for so long....
