skreidleMan, people are prolific posters Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning--at least 100 entries between 1700 and 1000.
Took Metro into DC, walked to Christine's building, waited there for her, then waited for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
antikate and Erika to arrive, then walked toward The Reef in Adams Morgan. Along the way, they were accosted by a stylish young man offering Free Haircare And Spa Treatment to Just Ten Women Today and he only had Three Flyers Left, except it later came to light that the deal, while good, wasn't Free, but instead Sixty Dollars Payable Right Now for Three Hundred Dollars Worth of Services At Any Time. Unsurprisingly, they passed on Such A Deal. We continued the hike to The Reef, then up to the roof, then whiled away a couple hours with several other friends (including Aaron, Faye, Stef, Bill, and a handful of forgotten names), tasty food and drink, and only a spattering of rain.
On the way out, C&I stopped in the main room of The Reef, replete with a saltwater aquarium between each pair of booths and a couple more in the middle of the floor--plenty of gorgeous fish, anemones, and shrimp. (Those are, in fact, why they chose the Reef as the location of their bi-weekly happy hour. :)
Come morning, we whipped up a tasty breakfast of ham and egg sandwiches and coffee, and I made it back to the Springfield Metro -just- in time to have to pay for parking. (They start charging at 09, I left at 0905.) Stopped at Petsmart on the way home, picked up three dozen crickets, some superworms, and a treat/food for Lucy, then visited their little severe macaw and chatted with the bird/specialty guy for a while before heading home.
Nathan's home today--apparently his sore throat yesterday progressed into something more incapacitating. Boy's sick a lot more often than I am, that's for sure.
