It's really hot & humid here, at least to my Northern Calif. blood. I can't think why I was worrying about which sweater to bring - the answer, more tank tops instead! The nice thing about long hair is that you can pin it up. And, bless Travelsmith microfibers & coolmax.

Ooops re Ann's BBQ. Thursday, check. Hil, I sent you my cell phone and also remembered that I'm meeting the hotel people on Wed., so it would make sense to do the Dupont Circle stuff on Thurs. Also, then, you could catch a ride to Ann's with me if you want. Hmm, I was going to take the Metro in, but, I can drive that day. Do you know any places where I can park for free?

I don't know when I'll have access to a computer again, so, see you! I must get to the National Mall!

DO NOT FORGET TIARAS, CROWNS, ETC!! PACK THEM NOW!!

So decrees the Empress.

I am bringing 4.

Saw my first one last night at my boss’ house. And then, I forgot something in the car and ran out to get it in my jammies, so of course barefoot, and had to dodge cicada carcasses.

Anyone else wondering why Vortex was at her boss's house IN HER PAJAMAS?!?!

Yes.

Hee. I leave tonight. Hee.

I don't own any tiaras. Ah, well...

Sheryl, If you want to borrow one, I am sure people will be happy to lend. I have two in my to be packed pile, in fact.

Sheryl, no worries. I don't have a tiara either.

I only have one tiara, but I have bunny ears, devil horns, a black bobbed wig, and a pink wig, all of which people may borrow. Though I am wearing the pink wig to the Spy Museum.

I'm not sure I have a tiara head, if that makes any sense. I could always try one on and see how it looks...
