Back From DC
National Building MuseumI’m back from my little vacation in the Washington, DC area. It was good to see my family and awesome to see Ann again. The picture is at the National Building Museum and shows the 75 foot columns inside in the gallery. It’s one of the few museums I’d never been to when I lived in DC. The outside is really not too remarkable, but when you walk inside you are met with this amazing view. It’s quite impressive. Now I understand why the Presidential inaugural ball is held there.
Ann and I also went off on our own around Dupont Circle, my old stomping grounds. It was strange to see how much and how little had changed. Gabriel’s was gone (where Jon E. and briefly myself) worked. Afterwards and Trio’s are still in place. The mansion next to where I used to live that my Mom almost bought is going to pot, but around the corner the mansion that had been boarded up for… well, for forever it seemed, is renovated and being used by the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs. Very cool since I really hoped it would be used again someday.
Meanwhile it looks like there have been script updates and I have much email to catch up on. I was rather remiss in my writing (blogging and other stuff) while away. I will try to catch up.
