I’m off on sunday to DC.  For work.  I’m excited – for one thing the work should be good, i think i’ll learn quite a bit on this trip.  For another, the last time i was in DC i was there for well less than 24 hours and didn’t really see anything (except for the very impressive protest), and, well, i don’t really remember anything about the time before that ’cause it was a long time ago (except for the cool stripey beanie i had and getting sick on the airplane).  But the point is, i’ll have (at least a little bit of) free time and i can do some of that DC stuff.

So, no promises you’ll hear from me for a week or so, but i’m still alive.  That’s the plan, anyway.
