be a tourist in my own town

Next time I’m downtown, I want to have lunch at The Berghoff. So I don’t have to make a special trip to do it later in life.

my office is on the 7th floor, should I choose to work there.

I’m going to “challenge the certification” (take the test without the $150 course in sailing) and rent a boat on Saturday afternoon.

Alex will go with me after caddy duty. I will invite Eric, too.

I’m going, regardless. “I don’t have a problem with that”

I’m going this Sunday 6/14. I don’t mind if no one else wants to go with me. “I don’t have a problem with that”

I get a month (28 days, anyway) in DC in October 2008

I’m already planning on seeing “Red Elvises” and becoming a “Make-a-Wish Foundation Ambassador” and probably watching some movies and going to poetry readings. Kayak season ends as soon as the river hits 55 degrees F, so that will have to be soon-ish.

I don’t know how things will go, but I have high hopes that it will be up and down and happy and sad and wonderful.

Iota club and cafe

Rams Head onstage

Alex would really like that.

that would be good, for two 15 year old boys. It might make them realize there are evil people in the world.
