No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded

As alluded to previously, when I visited DC for a class in November I discovered upon my arrival that a very good friend from law school who is an Air Force JAG and former co-resident of Colorado Springs was there the same week on vacation, enabling us to hang out a few times.

This was aided by the fact she slept on my hotel suite's pull out couch the last couple of nights, possibly bending some travel regulations, although not, alas, the UCMJ's sodomy prohibition despite what some coworkers who saw us getting a drink one night erroneously thought. (I blew one my one chance at that back in the day because I didn't want to blow what I had going with Nobody Girl at the time. There's no chance she would have known, but that wasn't the point. I've tried to regret that decision over the years without much success.)

Anyway, I visited DC again for another class the first week of this month, and discovered via Facebook twenty minutes after I landed that the same friend was also in DC. And also in my class. And staying in the hotel directly across the street. Life is weird, sometimes.

I also saw another friend in town, but it wouldn't be Appropriate (or particularly interesting) to describe.
