Washington, DC (USA)

[I woke Mollie up at 0630 and she got ready for school; she ate breakfast and I dropped her off at school at 0720 - I went into DC (getting off at Archives Station) - I met Arun for coffee at Republic Kolache's, located in the Hill Country BBQ restaurant, and we had a nice chat for about an hour (until around 0845) - we walked back to L'Enfant and I worked from my new office for a half day - because Mollie wanted to take her Learner's Permit exam, I coordinated to leave my office early - Mollie met me at the McDonalds across the street from her school (I picked her up at 1515) and we immediately drove to the DMV so Mollie could take the test - we were missing a residence verification document but they let us retrieve it at home (after a quick drive) - we even maintained our place in line - however, Mollie ended up failing the test by one question (after she changed two from correct to incorrect) - we went to dinner (Ghengis Grill) so we could take advantage of a special price and free appetizer - back at home, we watched a movie (starting at 1845) - after it was over, we watched YouTube snippets until it was time for bed (2245)]
