SDG Mystery Photo

SDG here (not Jimmy!), making an almost unheard-of foray from guest-blogging retirement limbo with a quasi-mystery photo.


Where am I and the rest of the Greydanus clan in this picture? (See bigger picture.)

I say it’s a quasi-mystery photo because some of Jimmy’s faithful readers (Esau, I’m talking to you!) may remember my mentioning the occasion of this photo awhile back.

If you know where we are because you remember my mentioning the occasion, don’t spoil it for other guessers right away.

If you know where we are because you recognize the location, post away.

This week I really mean to post on this occasion, and a related episode that’s actually a better story. Stay tuned.

  2. I’m guessing here, but could this be taken outside of the large guest mansion Jimmy maintains for his posh friends, which, I might add, I have never been invited to?

  3. I was going to say Graceland until I read the rest of the post, and since I have an idea of what Steve is referring to, I’m refraining from guessing….

  9. Dang. I tried to be clever and zoom in on what looks like a back-stage/security pass hanging around you neck, but it was just a pixelated mess at extreme zoom. Man, you gotta get a higher resolution camera 🙁

  12. Where am I and the rest of the Greydanus clan in this picture?
    It’s a trick question! You asked where you are IN THE PICTURE. You are in the bottom center of the picture wearing the brown blazer slightly behind and to your wife’s left. The rest of the Greydanus clan is standing in front of you and slightly to your right and left.
    What do I win?

  16. My first thought on seeing it was the White House and seeing the picture that was given in the archives.gov – I’m going to stick with that thought.
    It does look like it was taken several years at least prior to the photo of President Bush. The reason I say that is that the evergreen tree in the center of the photo of Pres. Bush (in the background) is a lot taller than the one in the background (half way up on the right – at the end of the porch).
    I’m guessing 5-10 years earlier?

  19. Hello SDG,
    I know the place from your mentioning it. By the way, browsing through my RSS feeds, I just saw that Barbara Nicolosi is teasing you about your recent article on Bella. Why didn’t you mention the article either on Decent Films or here?

  22. Matheus: I wrote the Bella piece for CWR. I didn’t know Ignatius had put it online until someone told me. It’ll go up at Decent Films sooner or later.

  23. I’ve Goerge Bush descend into the area right you a dozen times. It’s the White House Rose Garden. Pretty cool, man. I hope you plan on posting a little about your visit to the CIC’s home, especially if you met the guy in person!

  31. I don’t know where you’re supposed to be (but I’m guessing the White House) – all I know for sure is that that picture looks doctored =P
    You should so review the movie Stardust, SDG. It’s so deceiving. I went into it thinking it would be a rip off of Narnia and other similar movies, not being aware that the film was rated PG-13, and was just shocked to see that it practically started with a one-night stand. My parents would’ve taken my younger sisters to it, too, hadn’t I warned them. Review it, now u.u

  40. SDG,
    You are either in Jimmys backyard or Andrew Jacksons home:The Hermitage.
    Wonderful Family.
    God bless y’all
