Washington, DC (USA)

[another co-worker decided to leave us this week, so we had to have a farewell happy hour! - Sean set up the event at Graffiato in Chinatown and several of us headed over at 1630L - we ended up staying there for about four hours, having a great time with several of our old friends (who previously left the company) - Sean took me next door to have a drink at the Daikaya Ramen Shop (actually, a bar upstairs there) - the drinks didn't meet his high standards, so we ended up "needing" to repeat the rounds back at Graffiato - by the time it was over, I was the last one there - after I paid, I realized I hadn't been paying attention to how we got to the pub... - I left and headed north, accidentaly, and ended up at the corner of 6th and Massachusetts, clearly unfamiliar territory - I knew I was lost at that point (no Metro signs anywhere), so I backtracked a few blocks and found the Chinatown Gate (next to the Metro entrance) - whew! - rest of trip home OK...]
