The Corner

Where’s Rick?

I leave the Corner for one day to work (what?), and I find that I’m a cool cosmopolite who ignores George Washington.

So let me salute our greatest founder, and a pretty cool one (look at John Trumbull’s standing portrait of him after the Battle of Trenton: as my wife said, “Nice quads”).

Rod, I’m going to start boiling maple sap into sugar this weekend. You may have some next time you visit these parts.
