GM was fiddling with Photoshop the other day, trying to make some vintage NPS-style travel posters for Georgetown. (GM does weird things for fun). Anyhow, this is what he came up with. Hope you like them.

(If you’re a PBC member like GM, you might like this variation:)

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

This week for Georgetown Time Machine, GM is checking out another vintage postcard listing on Ebay. This particular one is of the Georgetown University Hospital chapel.

The card, which according to the listing comes from the 1940s, says on the back that the chapel is dedicated to the immaculate heart of Mary:

The chapel was host to at least one prominent event, the baptism of President elect John Kennedy’s son John, Jr. on December 8, 1960:

Having found Sparrow a forever home, GM and fam have another new furry friend looking for theirs. Meet Keko (we’ve been pronouncing that “Keek-O” btw).

Keko is a female calico siamese. The foster org estimates that she’s about a year old.

She is quite long and athletic. She can easily jump four feet or more, although she is not particularly hyper at all. Mostly she enjoys batting around a small bit of foil that came off the top of a whiskey bottle.

She loves most of all curling up in your arms and getting a nice deep shoulder rub.

So if you’re looking for a beautiful and elegant cat, come bring her home!

Permit GM a small indulgence today. He has a tiny garden that he nonetheless packs with plants and flowers. And it’s reaching its summer peak these days. So allow him to show off a few pics:
