DC report #2: Much happier day today. Had dim sum with Jasa this morning in DC's Chinatown (affectionally known as Chinablock because it's so small and empty).

Then I happily got together with a former co-worker (name omitted to protect the "innocent"). It was good seeing him in person outside of the office so that we could talk. He's so smart and witty and we've been through a lot together (work stuff, personal stuff, political stuff, etc.) He and I also went through bad relationships and hurtful breakups at the same time a few years ago and were able to see each other through. Always good to see him and chat.

Spent the afternoon biking around, remembering my old haunts again. Tonight, I'm going over to my friend Gerry's house and we're doing a sleep-over. Yay! I'll keep you posted.
