Despite the wrinkles lining the subject's eyes, and his apparent need for a walking stick, his 1793 oil painting exudes a youthful, smug confidence.
For Youth Activities Counselors aboard my cruise ship, seeing consecutive blocks of "WASH" on the schedule could be a nightmare. We'd signed onto ship life because we wanted to goof off with kids all day, maybe revise our own childhoods to include copious amounts of adventure and sunshine.
