The morning spent in moving furniture around trying to make our small space feel less crowded by moving the clutter from the livingroom to the bedroom. At least it's different - which will do for the moment.
Walked down to the National Mall and ate a packed lunch by the patio fountain at the Hirshorn Museum of Art while reading Catton's and Tainter's scholarly and complementary views of the coming apocalypse. Bad news about the future didn't affect my appetite at all. Humans are good at discounting the cost of future problems - as long as things are OK today.
Tonight we took the Metro downtown to go to a town hall meeting sponsored by Eleanore Holmes Norton. Several hundred people turned out at the Commerce Department to hear real people's medical care stories and listen to expert feedback about the bills currently being worked on in the House of Representatives. No crazies in the audience. Very civilized.
Afterwards we Metroed back to the Hill and had dinner at Tunnicliffs Tavern across from Eastern Market. Then K read and I watched the Michael Douglas film "Falling Down."
