In Washington now...

For most of this week. So far, so bad. Well, the hotel is nice, but part of my luggage was left by the doorman in the cab from National Airport. And they won't let me have an in-room coffeemaker, so breakfast is shot (can't make instant oatmeal). And I have to go spend $250 on a new navy blazer tomorrow morning, and get the alterations done by Tuesday. And whatever social plans I thought I had here look to be pancaking... maybe I'll just go to Dupont Circle and order pizza tomorrow or Wednesday.

The right attitude

patgreene has the right attitude here... just dive in.

Otherwise, my plans for this evening crashed, but for the best of reasons (a friend got a job, after a year :-).

And this afternoon's space-mission-planning-software planning session wasn't too bad... albeit incredibly acronym-dense. It wouldn't have been worthwhile for hopeforyou, and I got copies of the documents anyway.

And I found a remaindered 100% wool navy blazer in Falls Church for a mere $49. The roundtrip cab fare was almost as much (grin).
