DC
Thoughts from Washington DC:
1. I find it a bit disconcerting that I know my way around the Mall from Playing Fallout 3
2. The Subway stations are also very accurate in the game
3. It is effing Hot
4. Walking along one gets a sens for the sheer history of the place; I really need to come back when there is time to look around at length
5. The Sushi in Arlington is par at best

Out and About
It has been a hell of a busy season. Josie and I have been working on the house, pulling down the wall-paper and sanding the walls to get everything ready for painting. We have been getting wedding items together, trying to limit the chaos though I think it is a futile effort. On the work side, the new job is rocking along; I think I have the clients sorted out for the most part, and I had a very good training on site for one of them earlier this week.
So, all told, I am way way too busy.
