A Proud Moment

[alexiscartwheel]

Once upon a time, I tried to drive home by going through the District. I failed, in the very failiest of fashions. I can now proudly say that I have mastered this route! Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's really any faster than the Beltway at rush hour, but at least I have another choice for those few days when I'm not Metro-ing, which takes even longer.

Unrelated: One of the default moods on LJ is predatory?? Just in case I'm feeling like I need to go out real quick and down a gazelle?

Congrats on the driving VICTORY!!! I fail less often these days too, and it only took 3 freaking years. :P

I was looking at the National Book Fair author schedule today and ARGH I really want to go!!! I want to see Suzanne Collins and Timothy Egan, especially. But I think it's too far for me to bring the 11-month old -- we went over yesterday and my friend suggested taking him to a park 2 blocks away if we wanted a change of scenery from the house. :( Then I started debating whether I could give you books to have signed, but I'm not really that much of an autograph person and I more want to hear them talk.

I know, right!! Two years later, I can kind of get around. I took some crazy-ass route back into the city after Labor Day weekend (trying to avoid the parking lots that are I-70 and I-270) which was quite an experience.

Bummer that you can't make it. I'll be sure to give you highlights if I see anyone awesome. I'm not sure if I'll do any of the signings... the lines are always so long.
