Arlington, VA (USA)

[saw folks running towards St. Dominick's when I arrived at work this morning (0725) - figured out I could attend Mass for Ash Wednesday right across the street from work (very convenient!) - Erica came down from New Jersey today and I met her for some meetings in the middle of the day - the result of that was that I didn't get as much done as I hoped - after a full day, took the Orange Line out to the Courthouse station (Arlington), where Randy met me with his car (1800) - he drove us to a place called The Quarterdeck (near Fort Myer) and we had drinks and dinner with Lee - it was a great evening, filled with anecdotes and future planning - the weather was pretty miserable, but the restaurant was good - Randy dropped me off at Rosslyn station and I was able to catch a Blue Line train down to Pentagon and (almost immediately) switch to the Yellow Line - made it home around 2200]
