In D.C. for the weekend...

Edit Post
Uneventful flight -- left early, got to DC early and no hassles.
Interesting observations on the plane:
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was on the flight -- and looking none-too-happy seated in coach. She looked tired and definitely did not like having to be back in Washington for the upcoming vote tomorrow on the bail-out package.
Democratic strategist (well at least in his mind) and Faux News commentator Bob Beckel was on the plane up in first class -- behind me and across the aisle. Non-stop pontification for 3 1/2 hours. I guess he's gearing up for another run on H&C. Whatever.
This is the first trip to D.C. with no tourist plans and where I'm not staying next to the convention center. I'm in a nice suite at The Mayflower. (The difference between a suite and their regular rooms was $20... so why not.)
Hopefully, I will still have my meetings with the HRC folks tomorrow -- if not, then I'll take a walk over to the Mall and take some more pictures.
