That's just what I was thinking, Vortex. And then I thought, maybe the smart strategy is not to clean the bedroom, but that kind of overthinking rarely works.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Other thoughts?
Zoo? Arboretum? Dancing at Glen Echo? Folger Shakespeare Library? (I had to suggest a library, although they are rarely considered "funky" unless one is describing the smell in the Reading Room during finals week.)

P-C, that is exactly what that is.

I presume that's not Grandma You'd Like to Fuck.
Oh, but it so IS, what it is... (She's 38. Has an 18 year old, who has a four month old)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
bonny, how about one of those bus/trolley tour things - you can travel around town, hop off at designated stops and then hop back on. There's one - they use double-decker buses - that sells tickets good for two days.
There's the Library of Congress - the old building (Madison?) was renovated/restored a while ago. There are museums of all sorts (fyi, the textile museum doesn't open until 1:00 on Sundays ... which I found out the hard way). The National Cathedral - religious or not, it's impressive (one of the altarpieces is by N.C. Wyeth). ooh! the Peacock Room at the Freer!

Folger Shakespeare Library?
She loves old books. And I'm ashamed to say that, in the 12 years I've lived on the Hill, the one and only time I wa in the Folger was for a recent funeral. Must make that visit happen while she's here.
Sadly, the Millenium Stage events this week are, well, weak...but there are a couple of interesting things at the National Geographic. Her family is avidly into bird watching and, apparently, the ivory billed Woodpecker, once thought extinct, is back in action. I'll take the opportunity to day dream, but B might really enjoy the presentation about that.

Good to know about the textile museum. You just know I'd end up there at 10:30, shifting from foot to foot.
Hm. The Freer. Never been there either.
The LOC is my mainstay, but I took her there last time. God, I love that place!

bonny, I just pimped your services to our Westlaw rep! (We were looking a Sass pictures, and she saw the Yappy Hour picture of you and Bartleby.)

You rock! In many, many ways. Thanks for the pimpage AND the pic. I love the way it captures what we do.
MWAH.

the Peacock Room at the Freer!
That is one of my favorite places.
I've heard the International Spy Museum is quite the thing to see. I don't know what the lines are like now, the one time I tried to get in was a few months after it opened and even though we got there within an hour of opening, the line was already halfway around the block and they were only letting in people as others left.
