Greetings From DC

Living the dream in DC at the moment. Staying at a hostel nicer than most motels I've ever stayed at. Besides the 30 block walk to the National Mall every morning, the digs are good.

Finally got into the Smithsonian, National Museum of American History Library today. They are WAY understaffed - apparently everyone is on vacation. I'm the only one doing research in the library, and the wait time on 20-30 sources is 2-3 days. That's incredible, especially since I need closer to a 1,000. I'm sure it will only get worse with more and more budget cuts.

So far, no funny news from the seed catalogs. It's a shame.

The weekend is near. Friday night - drinks with Jan. Sat night - The Cure vs. The Smiths Dance Party. Sun - Brunch + all you can drink mimosa's.

Getting up on Monday may not be easy.
