Arlington, VA (USA)

[I arranged to telework because of all the festivities related to Mollie's Confirmtion - in the afternoon, I took care of (hopefully the last) legal issues at Hoffman Center - around 1630, I got dressed up and headed to the Red Hot and Blue (BBQ) restaurant, where I'd made reservations for 20 people - my cousins arrived soon after, along with the kids and Katie's family - we had a great time and finished at 1845 - drove to St. Bernadette's (found shortcut - Rolling Road), arriving around 1910 - Bonnie had saved us a pew where everyone could sit - Nicky came much later and sat elsewhere with her friend - the service was excellent and was over by 2045 - we attended a reception afterwards (lots of food and pictures) and everyone was tired by 2130 - I drove over to Arlington (near Clarendon) so I could attend Levi's Farewell party (lots of my younger friends there) - left around 2300 and drove home (maze in the dark and with construction) - home after midnight]
