yes, except for the fact that it ignores the poor part of town :)
Ah. I found the three things I reliably navigated by when in DC in about 10 seconds, which impressed me. Tourist heaven.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

I'm guessing...The Washington Monument, the Capital Building and...what's the third?

Capitol, Union Station and our hotel. :) Union Station was kind of the center of the universe for the F2F. We could check out any time we liked, but we could never leave.

Lilty is funny. Also, muy foamy. And very sweet and animated and cool and fun. Plus, she bummed me a cigarette, and that's really the quickest way for me to become enamored of a person.
Blushes.
Nora, I still regret so much not having the time to loiter and smoke a cig after dinner with you all!
Anyway, I got up far too late for such a nice day off from work. Big coffee is mine, and now I can finish my story.

Hee. It does, sometimes have that feel around here.
I was just chatting with a dog park friend about my maximum lameness when I have a car (Haven't owned one since '95 when I moved to Capital Hill, but I've got generous friends).
I go to the cemetery (dog park) and to the Costco. Other than that? Not much. When you live here, there is little need to be elsewhere.
The 'hood has clearly eaten my brain (or maybe my will). I need a Twilight Zone intervention.

Is it my imagination, or do most 'poor' parts of the average town rest in the south and east sectors?
yes, it's your imagination. there are various low income neighborhoods in north east as well.

I mean, they're so happy, and pretty, and clearly enjoying each other -- it's the real version of what Gap ads try to capture.

Thanks guys! I think there's some goodies in that collection (she says modestly). I did love Teppy & Sean being cute, too.
Have I told you how much I miss you all?
