Here's a picture of me and a "friend" this past weekend on the hand of The Awakening - a statue in East Potomac Park, at Hains Point past the Jefferson Memorial, on the Potomac River. (East Potomac Park is a public park along the banks of the Potomac, occupying a jalapeño-shaped peninsula between the Potomac River and the Washington Channel.) The Awakening is a unique statue created by J. Seward Johnson. It is designed to appear to be much more than it actually is. It depicts a giant poking out of the ground upon waking up from a slumber. As such, his head, both hands, his right knee, and his right foot are visible. I thought originally it was on over-sized Adam breathing his first breath from the dawn of time. But it's just a giant. Oh well.

Send me some good stories of the good ole days to share!
