In consulting with my mother-in-law about her trip to DC next week (fireworks, museums, lots of long walks, being that I’m the events director and that’s how I roll), I asked which Smithsonian museums she’d like to see.
Her: “I like American Art”
Me: “There is a museum devoted to that, and a George Bellows show is in town at the National Gallery.”
Her: “That’s good.”
Me: “Just go to the Smithsonian web site and click on links for the American Art Museum to see details.”
Dead silence.
Her: “Okay, but what the hell is a link?”
