I spent two hours in front of this 13' tall portrait of George Washington by George Sully yesterday, interpreting the portrait, the room, and some other treasures to about 200 young graduates of the Union League's "Youth Work" citizenship and scholarship program and their families.

Then I had lunch, and then I worked in the business center, and then I took 15 leader of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (that would be The DAR), including the President General, on a tour of the League House. The Union tenor of the place made some of the southern reps squirm a bit, so I imagine they may also have been members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

I'm such a ham....I loved every minute of it!

I whined about having a bad case of Idonwanna earlier today, but I recovered enough to create some decidedly Web 1.0 pages for the Civil War Philly web site:

All done the old-fashioned way, with static html and table layouts. I don't have it in me to learn any new tricks right now.
