Arlington, VA (USA)

[at 1530, I left my apartment and drove to Fort Myer (via I-495 and I-395, with a Google Maps detour around Arlington Cemetery) - I arrived at the Memorial Chapel at around 1615 and went inside to see Kim, who was coordinating a Christmas music recital - that event began at 1630 - Kim's husband, David, arrived just before it started and we had great seats to watch the performance - at 1700, the Mass officially began and it ended up being VERY LONG - it wasn't over until almost 1830 - by then, David had to leave - I was able to get together briefly with Kim and congratulate her for the job she and her choir/orchestra had done - I headed home after that (via the grocery store, mobbed with last minute shoppers) and arrived by 1930]
