Good morning!

Ah, the sweet deliciousness of the Flex Day...the every-other Friday that I have off, because I work 9 hour days the rest of the time. I can swill coffee to my heart's content, do laundry, and watch Buffy and Dawson's reruns. You know, important stuff!

Had a wonderful dinner last night with my friend P and his lovely lady friend K. While our venue of choice was, as P put it, "tragically hip," the miniburgers and Rogue Dead Guy Lager made it well worth the wait. If you're ever in Chinatown in our capital city, I highly recommend Matchbox.

But I digress.

We had quite a busy week, which included a "Mardi Gras in May" dinner hosted by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. I had to listen to Billy Tauzin et al riff on the delights of the free market system, but for $10,000 a table that I didn't have to pay, I was happy to eat, drink, and chat up Republicans. And apparently Quid Nunc himself, the "Reliable Source" for the Washington Post, was in our midst....and I didn't see him!!! I missed my moment.

Perhaps he was wearing one of those mardi gras masks...that would explain it.
