Having the constitution thrown at you
This morning as I was walking to the Farragut North station, a strong breeze knocked down a Constitution Street street sign, nearly nailing a woman on the head. Amazingly she wasn’t hurt.

Monday
Yesterday – I saw “Hitch” with a friend. Fluffy movie, but funny. Will Smith in a romantic comedy – he’s good when he’s not in a blow ‘em up movie. He plays Alex “Hitch” Hitchens, the date doctor, who will help hapless men earn their way toward love with women (hmm – the average men [...]

The District
Day one of the convention is over; now it’s off to check in and find some food. We’re thinking about this sushi restaurant a few blocks away on Eye street and 19th.

Book: Brooklyn or Brookline
A woman with airline baggage sits across from me on the Metro. She reads "The Great Gatsby". Looking at the top edge, I see it is stamped "Brookline Public Library", an imposter of the library I grew up with.

In dc
Just arrived. Had the hardest time finding the bridge to the metro. The signage is all confused with the ground transport signs. Crossing the Potamac is much like crossing over the Spyuten Dyvil. I have about 10 minutes to make it to the red train and the conference site.

Somewhere Sideways
P and I got the chance to see Sideways yesterday. She spent most of the movie yelling "pigs" or "gross" (drinking from the wine spitoon). I thought that the movie was basically Seinfeld in Wine Country. It was a whole lot about nothing.

Rather Be Doing Something Else
Don’t have too much to contribute above what SSW had to say, but it just hit me that nobody on Google News has used this title. Dan Rather is going to “60 Minutes” to go back to what he enjoyed doing, field and investigative reporting. I can understand how once when you get to the [...]
