DC drive-by

Oh yeah, so we were in DC from January 23rd through the 29th. And despite it being so cold (after 60+ degrees in winter in Oakland), it was a good visit.

I went to Poplar Spring a couple of times (Asma went three or four times), which was really nice. I missed all the critters and people there. We haven't found any like-minded people here, but hopefully that's only because we haven't gotten out much and not because a lot of those people don't exist here.

Arabelle has gotten huge. She's a little fatty. And I'm now sponsoring her.

Lola looks ridiculous with all her wool.

I also went to work for a day. I miss being around my team, but I can't say that I actually miss being onsite. The vibe is too stuffy. Among other things.

And of course there's the family. And Lily. Lots of wonk under one roof. Lots of ADD too.

And I'm even more convinced now that Sticky Fingers is one of the best vegan places ever. I didn't get a chance to go to Yuan Fu this time, but definitely next. It's odd that DC has my favorite vegan places and that nothing here is as good overall. Well, there's Millenium, but we can't exactly drop $100 on dinner whenever we want.

I need to put up pictures soon to compensate for the insightful fluff.

I'm winding down work with VarLabs. The idea that I'll have free time soon is starting to take over my will to work. I can finally start to repair my brain and body after 3.5 years of stress and workaholicness. And start getting active in this new, ugly world.
