I'm in Arlington, VA for work-related reasons. It all seems like a bizarre homecoming as I look at my surroundings...which is all the more entertaining as one of our senior officers in our party has avoided the National Capital Region like the plague...to the point where he deliberately did not bring the nigh-obligatory jacket and tie I associate with doing business in the capital.

Consequently, we will be walking around DC in polyester, looking like the fucking Hitler Youth. Fuck yeah.

I was meaning to meet some folks this morning for a run at 6:30am.

I woke up this morning to the reaction of "fuck!" as I looked at my watch, which said 6:35am. As I went downstairs to the lobby of the hotel I realized the group had already left, so I took off to catch them. Fortunately, they took the route I was going to take them on, so it wasn't a total bust. Fortunately.

I followed that with some heavy lifting once I was back.

Tomorrow I go longer, much longer, along the same stretch of the Mount Vernon Trail.

Now I can look forward to Hitler Youthing my way across DC...
