I’m in Washington DC – well, actually in Virginia for a couple days visiting friends then moving to a hotel in DC where I’ll be for our annual week-long meeting. I was a shopping fool today, possibly burned a hole right through my AmEx. Man, I love it.

Weird US observation – there’s a lot of water in the toilet bowl. Also, I felt a little freaked out to be surrounded by English everywhere I went today. And I had to laugh out loud in Target when there were 2-3 people in each of 3 check-out lanes and it was like a major emergency – they were calling people back from their freakin’ breaks to deal with the “rush”. I didn’t stand in a line for more than 5 minutes anywhere today. It’s like hours added to my life, all of which can be happily spent buying more stuff. What a great country.
