Report From VacationLand
We're in Crystal City, VA, an odd little hygenic bubble that houses offices and corporate apartments for DC folks.  Now that it's Monday, this little world has changed and become much busier. 

It is possible, with the right circumstances, to never see daylight here except through a window.  The friend we're staying with can get to his office through an underground tunnel connected to the hotel, and the tunels are full of shops, including an optometrist, dentist, and doctor. Now I know where the main Morlock enclave will be.

In an effort to make us feel like we're at home (joke courtesy of Wayne), the hotel is shutting off the water from 10-2 today.  I think we're going to try the walking trail to Mt. Vernon.

I love your TIME MACHINE allusion. Might there be a story brewing?

Have fun at Mt. Vernon. For all my time in Virginia, I've never been. Now Monticello, try about 12 trips there. Too bad you're so far away.

If you see any copies of papers of Geo. Wash. on his scouting trips prior to his starting the French and Indian Wars (not quite singlehandedly, but what a fiasco), let me know about them, please? I'm collecting research to finish a story already written, but sometimes they have hard-to-find stuff at the museum shops connected with historic homes. Thanks!

Alas, we didn't get all the way to Mt. Vernon itself, but I will keep an eye open.

If you tried to escape from Crystal City, you'll end up hanging out in an overgrown, abandoned Capitol building with Peter Ustinov and a bunch of his cats.

Just watch out for that crazy killer robot in the ice cave.

Wow, and they say Washingtonians are pasty pale people...
