Random Stuff

This post is just a few random things I wanted to post and figured I'd just throw them all together.

Some of you may know my friend Harrison Kennedy. He and I have known each other since 3rd grade and both go to Wofford College. He messaged me on Facebook back in January asking if he could stay with me while on a trip to London. Of course I was on board! It was great to catch up with a friend from school and talk about our experiences abroad. Harrison is studying in Copenhagen, Denmark so he wasn't too bothered by the London weather. I sent this picture to my family who said it looked like trouble but I promise no trouble was found (for better or for worse).

Second I thought I'd share this for all those Boy Scouts out there: 

For my art class we took a field trip to the National Portrait Gallery last week. (For avid readers of my blog, this field trip was the reason I had to move my flight to Dublin to Friday morning). We walked around looking at paintings of royalty; most of which was surprisingly interesting. Not always for the artistic merit but because most of the portraits had lots of history behind them. Well I'm not going to bore you with a portrait of a King or Queen you probably don't care about. But I will share this very cool portrait of Sr. Robert Baden Powell. For those of you who may not know, Sr. Powell was the founder of the Boy Scouts and as a boy scout myself I immediately noticed the portrait, though my art professor couldn't be bothered with it. I figured my scout master Ted Gage would appreciate this.

We didn't stop and talk about this portrait but I made my way back to it at the end so I could get a picture of it. Granted the story behind it is probably not very interesting and the painter was no one of consequence.

Long Live the King
