Washington DC

A report on the conference doesn't belong here so I'll skip that.  The presentation wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped, I'm told I raced through the material. Chalk that down to experience.

For fun, I took myself to a cinema Tuesday night. My hotel was near Georgetown U so I found an art film cinema across the street. I bought a huge bucket of popcorn and sat down to watch Percy Adlon's Bagdad Café. His previous opus was Sugarbaby.  Marianne Sägebrecht starred in both. The story is about a German tourist who wanders into a run-down Nevada roadhouse and ends up turning the place into a popular truck stop. A slow moving story but the film has a subtle charm.

I didn't see the point of renting a city hotel room when I could move to a motel out in the suburbs that charged half as much and is near the metro, so I did exactly that.
