I'm quite displeased that I'll be unable to attend this event. I'd planned to do so for months. Alas, myriad youth baseball responsibilities prevent me from doing so. Now, I'd have handed things off to other, less illustrious and capable men for a long weekend had "Fisherman" accepted my invitation to debate the merits (and absurdities) of "Crossmere the Ripper". Alas, since that hasn't happened and his "theory" seems to be losing what credibility it may ever have had, I realize I shan't be needed. Enjoy and I hope to attend one of these things one day.

Another I'd have liked to meet.

There are a few.

Hi Steadmund

Looking forward to welcoming you here. I have spent the past few days doing some local publicity, hoping to reach some Baltimoreans or others who may not yet know about the event.

Thanks once again for your support and interest!

Best regards

Make that the Old Patent Office.

"The historic Old Patent Office Building in Washington, D.C. covers an entire city block defined by F and G Streets and 7th and 9th Streets NW in Chinatown. It served as one of the earliest United States Patent Office buildings.

"After undergoing extensive renovations, the building reopened on July 1, 2006 and was renamed The Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture in honor of a gift from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The building houses two Smithsonian Institution museums: the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. . . ."

Yeah. My phone's autocorrect hates me and I've come to completely ignore it. It makes for some interesting conversations... Sometimes it changes things in to words that don't actually exist.

You must be patient with it then.

SAAM is the abbreviation for "Smithsonian American Art Museum". My bad. SAAM is kept in the Renwick and, with the Portrait Gallery, the Old Patient Office (that was renamed a few years ago but I'm blanking on what it was changed to).

D.C. is a great city to visit as a tourist. The major museums and galleries and monuments are on or near the Mall and the subway will take you right there. Also all of the museums and galleries are free.

If you stayed on The Mall you missed the Renwick and SAAM collection entirely. The Sackler collection is groovy but only a piece.

I like James McNeill Whistler's Peacock Room at the Freer Gallery which was close enough for me to walk to in my lunch hour where I worked in Washington, D.C. SW. See
