DC makes you very proud to be American.<br /><br />Here's a bit of my journey in case you missed it.<br /><br />http://www.madtexter.com/2009/05/washington-dc-day-uno.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-73683071151569007782010-05-25T09:56:07.565-04:002010-05-25T09:56:07.565-04:00Aah yes, one of those documents that smells like f...Aah yes, one of those documents that smells like formaldehyde (sp?) . . . I can send him a Va. Declaration of Rights, by George Mason, if he wants one of those. Colonial money . . .

I'd recommend getting a lesson in... um... diversity... by going down to DuPont Circle and hanging out. I doubt Schwartz's is still on Conn Ave near S but that was a terrific little drug store / lunch counter with a crabby old black waitress and the best scrambled egg sandwiches on the east coast.<br /><br />Who needs monuments when you had Schwartz's?RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-48050137432618331602010-05-25T08:55:14.567-04:002010-05-25T08:55:14.567-04:00You should have got him to read The Lost Symbol by...You should have got him to read The Lost Symbol by my favorite whipping boy Dan Brown.
