Wonderful art and essay about George Washington. I particularly liked knowing that Lafayette's family motto was "Why Not?". I believe that "Why Not?" will be our family motto from now on.

We had a long discussion today about whether or not we would like to live in a yurt.

As an Italian who lives in Jersey, just let me say that we all don't look like the people on Jersey Shore. Though some say our hair is a statistically taller than hair in other states. Lafayette's wife would have envied Snookie.
