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.

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.
