- The Neweum is really cool. We actually spent the entire afternoon there, I'm usually only good for 2 hours in any museum.
- College kids, take heed. Empty the garbage before your parents come to your room. The Bud Light carton and the Korbel bottle detract from the decor.
- Good DC eateries: Nooshi on 19th (Noodle/sushi place), Whitlow's in Arlington (superattenuated diner), Ben's Chili Bowl on U (just go- trust me), Kramer's on Dupont Circle(bookstore with cafe in back, superb pies and cakes).
- Saw "W." (the movie, not the commander in chief). It felt like a high-budget SNL sketch, exept for Richard Dryfuss as Cheney. Beloved Son observed, "It would play as a comedy, if you didn't know the ending."
- Washington Capitals. Great arena (except that they ran out of food), so-so hockey team.

You got a college kid drinking Korbel? You need to cut the allowance - college kids should be drinking Andre if they need bubbly.

What happened to Cold Duck, washed down by a gallon jug of Spanada?

Yeah. I'll bet you were a Strawberry Hill fan, right?
How about Southern Comfort and/or Sloe Gin?

Sloe Gin Fizz!
No Southern Comfort for me.
I don't recall Strawberry Hill either.

You must not have had too much if you can remember it.
Better drinking through chemistry.

Ah, to be underage and stupid again.
For a dinner party we decanted some good wine into a BFSH bottle to serve the guests.
