So today, I'll be re-attempting my ill-fated trip to DC. Remember that last one, the one that resulted in me leaving Logan Airport feet first on a stretcher? Yeah, that one. Let's try that again.
It's a stressful trip in any regards, but I have to say that I'm calmer about this trip than I was about the last one. And the weather on the east coast is really springlike. It'll be in the upper 40s or low 50s here today and tomorrow, and mid-50s and clear in DC. As pleasant as that is, it's not right... but for the weekend, it'll be relaxing.
I had a phone call with a friend yesterday afternoon, in which we needed to talk about some serious things. But she hadn't charged her cell phone, and she was in the third sub-basement of the monster conference hotel I'm going to tonight, so I was hearing literally about every tenth word. I hate cell phones anyway. When I get a new one, I always tell the Verizon worker that I don't need a camera, I don't need an MP3 player, I need a telephone with good voice quality. That's it. Usually they look at me as though I was asking for a replacement axle for my stagecoach, but the last time, the guy was really nice. "Yeah, you want a flip-phone, because that puts more distance between the earphone and the mouthpiece. And Samsung makes really good phones." He could have stopped there, but he continued. "And it's got the extra-large keypad, and the one-button 911, and the one-button emergency contacts..." Oh, I get it. The old guy phone. Thanks, sonny.
I'll be back home tomorrow night, just a quick down-and-back.
