Snow is God's way of letting you know there is no God.

I'm in Washington DC, or close to it -- staying at the Hyatt in Arlington, and here's the view from my room:

Here for theater, with 2 opera performances as the centerpiece, but I'm filling in with random non-singing stuff, starting with Synetic Theater's Much Ado about Nothing, which isn't not non-singing, it's non-speaking, not actually Shakespeare but a dance-movement piece based on the Shakespeare play. Great fun, and, more importantly, right on a Metro stop, you don't have to go outside!

Because it's cold.

I so enjoy DC! Hope you have a great time with the operas you're there to see. I don't know if you have interest, but the Smithsonian is tremendously engaging.

No museums for me this trip because it's COLD! When I was here last year at the same time, it was balmy spring & I saw a lot of the Smithsonian art units, plus I lived here 40 years ago & did lots of museum lurking then..

The one thing I would like to do, but won't, is visit the George Mason Memorial -- I wanted to do that last year, but it's out of the way & I ran out of steam. This year, it's just too damn cold to walk the mile there and back from the nearest Metro station!

I wasn't impressed by the George Mason Memorial, especially in comparison to the Jefferson and FDR memorials. But that year the ice on the tidal basin was quite a sight, with dead fish floating in the water around the edges, and the skittish seagulls taking the fish to the middle of ice before eating them. It makes sense, but it's not something I would have expected to see.

Travel safe!
