Back from DC

I'd never been to DC before. Nice city. The # of militaristic ads on the metro was interesting, but really I was there for the war memorials and the museums, of which I got to see too few. Next time, I guess.

In other news, my computer has died the death of the funky motherboard, and while I am crossing my fingers for its resurrection, the sad truth is that I'll be without ready internet or cheap, trashy tv for a while.

So nobody should have any news, ok?

I grew up in the suburbs outside of DC. I gather by your benign tone that you must have spent little of your time there driving in DC, which is good. Most people lose a little san when they have to navigate the almost antagonistic curves of DC's 'roads'. I grew up going to the Smithsonian's museums and was shocked on moving out here to find that museums charge. I tried to show them all to Moon when we visited last fall and failed miserably, yet happily. My condolences for your comp.

I am sad that you were in DC when I was not. DC's metro seems very 1984-ish to me.

Glad you had fun at the museums.

It was 1984ish - and interesting. I'm sorry I missed you in DC! I was actualy there to attend a boyfriend-family event, so I only had unday afternon free. But it would have been nce t see you. :(

So when are you next in B-town?

No idea when I'll make it back Bton way. Perhaps late summer/early fall.

Glad you had fun here.

Let me know if you ever need a place to stay in, err, just outside, the District.

The roads aren't actually that bad in the city. It's just every road leading TO or NEAR the city that's hell.

Nah, haven't been back since Sharyn's wedding, don't know when I'd get out there again. But yes, it's been a while!!!

(sorry for the delayed response, I ran away for a while there :) )

I love your posts, btw. I know I don't comment, but you're my main source for sci fi entertainment news!!
