hey, washington was great. i am sorry that i wasnt able to hook up with you guys. the highlight of the trip was waiting 5 hours at capital hill to pay my respects to regan. look in the common interest for more details on that. the "mall" was the shizzzz you really dont get a feel for just how grand everything is by their pictures you have to go there. breathtaking. i rode the metro a few times, went shopping, went to the zoo, and enjoyed some really good food. if you were an out-of-towner trying to drive there while reading directions you can stick a fork in it cause you are done. i just wanted to say that i was really impressed by DC and i wanted to say thanks for having me.
