Up and at ’em today. We finished packing bags and took to the interstate and across the state line into Georgia and then on to the airport in Atlanta. <\/p>\n

I neglected to remove my wallet from my pocket at security — which is pretty standard for me. This alarmed the helpful blue shirt, so he ran it through the X-ray after pronouncing it a big wallet. It was fine, because there’s nothing in my wallet that frightens anyone except the absence of money. <\/p>\n

He brought back my wallet and I shared my relief that he’d pronounced it safe for a representative democracy. He asked if he I was a writer, because I was sarcastic and had a beard and “writers don’t care about their facial hair.”<\/p>\n

That’s profiling, sir. <\/p>\n

So I shaved tonight.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the clouds from our flight:<\/p>\n

We are officially health nuts. The first thing we did when we got to D.C. was go for a jog. Ran by this place:<\/p>\n

\"WhiteHouse\"<\/center><\/p>\n

I was offering people a dollar if they’d just go up to the police and say “Hey, that sure is nice. Who lives there?”<\/p>\n

We ran 3.6 miles and it all felt good, which means it felt weird because there is no way that should feel good. But it did.<\/p>\n

Jogging wasn’t supposed to be the first thing we did. We had scheduled a Segway tour of the capitol, but our plane was delayed. All three cities involved — where our plan was coming from, where we were departing from and where we were arriving, were all simultaneously socked in. That pushed us back several hours. <\/p>\n

And so we did our bit of exercise, got cleaned up and hit Bangkok Thai<\/a>, close to our hotel. Got a cookie from the CVS surrounded by loud, profane, angry beggars — ahh, D.C. — and then back to the room to iron clothes for tomorrow. <\/p>\n

We’ll be conferencing. See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
