Will Loves Trains

Last weekend, my mom, Uncle Jan and I hopped on the bikes and headed down to the Southwest waterfront to participate in the Alice Ferguson Foundation’s annual Potomac River cleanup. As it happens, our little stretch of river wasn’t actually waterfront property. But we picked up trash and recyclables along the indicated route and took a little side trip up to 14th Street freight rail bridge. After we’d filled up a couple of bags, we got back on the bikes and went to the Japanese Street Festival, which is part of the Cherry Blossom Festival. We grabbed some lunch and I gave the crowd a tutorial on the proper method for using chopsticks. Watch and learn.

First, you open your mouth wide.

Next, you insert the first chopstick firmly between your teeth.

Finally, you insert the second chopstick between your teeth and you're ready to go.
