Mellons
Today was my first full day in the District of Columbia. I had a very stress free day and stumbled across The National Archives (home of the Constitution), Ford's Theatre along with the home across the street Lincoln died in, and The National Gallery of Art.By "stumble across" I mean that I was walking down the street in search of H&M and there they were. It was awesome, really. I kept seeing columned buildings and thinking -- THE SUPREME COURT. Never was, but I'll be here two months so I have plenty of time to stalk the justices.
I was most exited about The National Gallery of Art. I love art museums, and I love art. My love for art is like obscenity - 'I know it when I see it'. I headed straight for Matisse, the man I fell for in Nice, France. He did not disappoint. The gallery is huge so after much walking and some impressionism I decided to head on my way. As I was leaving I noticed a huge but tasteful thank you to the Mellon family for their donations, etc. I want to know this alleged Mellon family everyone likes to thank for things. I hope there is a biography I can buy for $3 on amazon.com and never get around to reading... More than that I want to meet the family and make great grandson Mellon marry me. He's gotta be well educated and philanthropic. And can buy me the pony? I've always wanted. Mrs. Fitzgerald (or something else pompous) Mellon. Has a nice ring to it, if you ask me.
