I'm back from DC!
Edited on Sun May-04-08 08:34 PM by DeposeTheBoyKing
Got in a couple of hours ago and am now finished reading the mail (junk, as usual), playing with the cats (a few old areas of barf to clean up - LOVELY) and saddened to learn of a classmate's death from a brain tumor when I engaged in my morbid routine of reading my hometown obituaries.

Below are some more pictures of my fun lunch with turtlensue yesterday:







(I also had dessert, but very meanly only took a picture of turtlensue and her dessert!)

We had a great time - she's a really cool person, as those of you who are lucky enough to have met her already know.

I walked back and forth in front of the White House in the rain on Thursday. I flipped it off 3 times and lobbed curses at it. There was a gentleman protesting the Iraq occupation and singing anti-war songs, and he smiled at my Obama shirt. I tried to get a passerby to take my picture, focusing on the Obama shirt, but she didn't understand what I wanted and just got the White House and my head. Oh, well.

I should go to the gym tonight, but need to unpack and put something on this rash on my neck - I got some sunburn and think it may be a heat rash. How delightful!

Now I have 5 days to rest and prepare to hop across the pond for our European adventure starting on May 10th!

1. My dear DTBK!
Ah, welcome home, sweetie!

So glad you had a great time...

And isn't it wonderful to have a little time to recover before you take off again?

Love the pics!

:hug:

2. Thanks!
I do have to get Morrissey to the vet for his annual exam, as well as myself to get a haircut and color. Lots to do to prepare for the journey! I bought a bunch of Democratic/Obama shirts to sport over there - including my "Worst President Ever" shirt.
