Overheard

Visitor: Everyone here walks like there's someone after them!

Me: Welcome to DC - everyone has somewhere to go.

Visitor: Should I be worried? I'm walking the southern walk.

Me: Nah, just make sure you stand on the right. [reference to the most important piece of information every tourist in DC needs to know, when riding an escalator in our metro system, stand on the right, walk on the left - no one likes an Escalefter]

And now, if you'll excuse me, the Wii residing in our house for the next 4 days is calling my name...
