This Weekend

Hey gang-
Kat's parents (my in-laws) are hitting DC today so we'll be doing a lot with them tomorrow and Sunday. Most probable destination: Dupont Circle Farmers Market on Sunday. Steve won't be coming (he has something silly to do, like work or study or whatever), but we'll find plenty to keep us occupied.
Odds are good Kat will want to hit Tysons Galleria for some marathon shopping, in which case... I'll stay home and write!
later!

Stuff to See and Do

Kat and I had a busy afternoon yesterday (Sunday) here in DC.

We got out the door bright and early (and it was bright- hardly a cloud in the sky), went to town and hit the Farmers Market. If you haven't gone to the Dupont Circle mainstay, it's a must-see. Apparently it's doing very well; we could barely walk around at all. The highlight was Chef Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve, who made pork pate. Absolutely terrific.

We then headed out to church, then to the National Mall. Kat was inclined to see La Boheme, but I was less enthusiastic. We compromised; instead of me heading home, I stayed with her and we went to the Freer Gallery. Going upstairs for the first time, we saw a really great collection of ancient Asian art. If you have the chance, visit the Freer. We also went to the Smithsonian Castle-- there's some interesting stuff on display if you look beyond the visitors info desk-- and then fed a mixed flock of birds with the remnants of Kat's almond croissant.

By about 4:30, we were worn out and ready for home. Caught Simpsons and the Family Guy Star Wars shows, then crashed. Got a long night's sleep for the first time in ages (I usually wake up two or three times a night then go back to sleep, but not last night).

And now... it's Monday.
