I'm in DC

Stayed with my good friend, a roommate from West Point last night in Alexandria, Virginia, and had a wonderful catered meal this evening at a Georgetown establishment, the 1789 Restaurant. Am awesome place.

I ate a local delicacy, rock fish with mandarin orange and spinach and parsnips and some sort of orange reduction. I am very happy, esp. since the wonderful staff continual refilled my wine glass. I like red wine.

My brother's getting married tomorrow at a big-wig Catholic church across the street from Georgetown University. It's where Tim Russert and Teddy Sorenson had recent funerals.

My brother and his wife are diplomats with the State Department; they're going to Moscow in a few months.

The cab driver spoke a language into his radio that interested me. I asked him politely what is was. And I received a fascinating lecture about his Ethiopian Semitic language.

He says Ethiopia has an explosive "p" sound.

Today we had a wonderful time at the Smithsonian and viewed the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights at the National Archives.

The only problem: I should be able to be armed to protect my family.
