a.k.a. V.J.

I spent most of today trekking to Maryland. I’m here for a football game and a family reunion of sorts. Details and photos of the festivities are sure to  follow in future posts. In the meantime, I  wanted to share this most Maryland of images from the lobby of my hotel:

I’ve long admired the state pride displayed by Marylanders. They miss no opportunity to brandish images of blue crabs, Old Bay, the Calvert coat-of-arms flag, and references to their esteemed  native sons and daughters….or, in the case of the guy they named this laundry room after, famous people who happened to die here.

“Hey, when are you going to be done monopolizing that dryer?

“Nevermore.”
