Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sophia, did you quote Drusilla?

OK!
I have a week's vacation coming up(And, unnervingly, I seem to have gotten things so they won't fall apart in my absence).
Starting Sunday morning I'm taking a train trip up to DC by New Orleans, then back down here via Chicago. This is either going to be really fun and different or amazingly boring.
(And can anyone explain the different Smithsonian buildings to me? Google Maps leaves me scratching my head.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What sort of explanation do you need? The Castle is what used to be the main building, but now there's not much there. The other buildings are the different museums.

I vote 'fun'!
If you're not having fun, remember you can buy booze on the train.

Oh dear. I thought he must not have been in the best of health but I didn't think it would be this soon. How sad. I feel lucky to have read and heard him over these years. He was a gift.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My bras are full of breasts. If there's room in there for a phone, I need a different bra. I've never quite understood that. Also, I always know all the things that are touching my breasts at any given moment. It's one of the inventories I track with a bit of care, but little effort.
As much as the busty girl comic can be the story of my life, that's where she loses me.
I can't believe there's still one more work day to go.
But yesterday was very informative--my boss seems to be calm about the scope of our project, and the major (NDA) one I'm involved in looks to be going smooth as silk, and learning that one of the golden child Senior Business Analyst got reamed harder than I ever have and is still chugging along...no one is treating him with kid gloves or as if they think he's going to set the place on fire.
I don't think I deserved the chewing out I got, but it's good to know it really doesn't seem to count against you in the day to day.

Ann, that's a ferret.
chris, it depends on what you're looking for. The main collection of Smithsonian museums is on the Mall, although there are a few in other parts of the city. Here's a map of the museums, which are generally east of 14th Street. And Here's a map of what's west of 14th Street.
For first-time visitors to the DC Mall, I usually recommend taking Metro to the Smithsonian station. Use the Mall exit from the station. When you get to the top of the escalator, take a few steps forward (so you aren't blocking other passengers) and turn around. The Washington Monument will be in front of you, and it's a great view. From that spot, the American History and Natural History museums will be on your right, and the Freer Gallery will be on your left. THe Capitol will be behind you.
From there, it depends on what you're interested in. If you're interested in Asian art, the Freer and Sackler (they're connected to each other as well as the African art museum by underground tunnel) are must-sees. The Hirshhorn is modern art. Most of the others have pretty self-explanatory titles.
