the garden of the national cathedral has free wireless! this is me, sounding the trumpet to all teachers on holiday / rich people who don’t have to work / happily unemployed souls. i probably shouldn’t give up this fantastic secret. it always amazes me that people happily sit in the nicotine & concrete & sadness pit at starbucks, writing/reading their guts out. at the national cathedral, it’s just me and the trash-picking squirrels , man.
i don’t even know if the picture took because the sun makes my computer screen turn black and i don’t know how to fix it.
yesterday we went to the zoo and there were so few animals there that seeing the ugly, sluggish emu trying to lay down listlessly to one side was an honest to god highlight. as was the kid who somehow found an animal in an enclosure somewhere and yelled to a desperate group of 20-30 strangers: “hey everybody! i found something over here!”
god bless u, wash dc.
