From D.C.

Greetings from the Couch of Hyla.

That's right, I am back in the District -- and proud of it. We got in Saturday night, stayed with the Brooks, hung out with Nolan and Adiya and co. and then came over here (to Hyla's) yesterday afternoon.

All in all, a good 2.5 days.

This evening the real adventure starts -- Julia will pick us up at 4 p.m.ish, at which time we will head over to her place, get Veeka, eat dinner, go to bed (and stuff) ... and tomorrow take Julia to the airport and start our 4.5 days of Veeka care.

It'll be fun. I'm positive.

During this we also get to see Dana and Bella, visit Walter Reed to at least drop off some cards and do a spattering of other fun things. I'm excited.
