Yes, I must make a mental note.

I really would, too, but someone stole the pencil-on-a-string.

Wait a minute! You don't need a pencil
in order to make a *mental* note.
Boy, I'll bet you thought I would be a
and fall for that one!

I'm lucky enough to have friends to mooch off of in the DC area.

Here's something funny: On MOnday, I went with my friend Steve into NYC and he brought along his girlfriend, also named Shea!

Yeah? But does *his* Shea have a stadium named after her? And butter named after her? And is she a princess, like *our* Shea?

She's an actress, best known for her roles of Slut 2 in Oliver and Slut 1 in One Flew Over the CooCoo's Nest.

Not exactly on the same caliber with *our* Shea, is she?

No ... I don't *act* like a slut ...

short of dc, you are all, of course, welcome to come to chicago. i believe tac's already expressed an interest...

Chicago would acyually be closer for me than DC would! But having been off work for the last four months probably elimanates my doing much of anything for quite a while!

I touched down in D.C. briefly when
I flew from Atlantic to Boston last summer.


Being stuck in an airport for half an hour doesn't
give you much time for sightseeing, though.

I could probably get anywhere by train.

I could, too, but I like to think of
my pocketbook when planning trips.
When I went Atlanta, the Amtrak trip would have cost $800
dollars and taken 24 hours, while the airplane
flight would have cost $200 and taken no more
than 4 hours, even with a brief layover in
Chicago. I went with the flight.

My mother says plane from Newark would be better. We need to find a good hoter, though.

HOTEL!

Is that like shouting "Theater!"
at a crowded fire?

Oh, Paul! My mother still thinks your odd. I try to assure her that you're only a librarian. How are those X-mas stories going?

Ah, but what about the weirdo that came all the way from California for basically just the weekend?
