Down Time

I hope you're having as much fun during this Holiday Season as I am. Of course, the best thing is spending time with friends and family. But it's also a good time to have some "down time."

Here are some of the highlights of my week:

Yesterday, I had lunch at Zola and then spent a few hours next door at the Spy Museum. The Spy Museum "is first and only public museum in the United States solely dedicated to espionage" -- perfect if you are interested in Opposition Research! This is a very cool museum that was definitely created for the 21st Century child-at-heart. It's very intereactive and fun. Unlike old-fashioned musuems where you aren't supposed to touch any thing, this museum was clearly created for those with a short attention span. But while entertaining, it is also highly informative. Next time you're in DC with an afternoon on your hands, I highly recommend checking it out. One note: Make sure to order your tickets in advance!

I've also played several bad games of Scrabble, and taken in two movies (The Producers, which I give a "B," and that new Jennifer Aniston/Kevin Costner movie, Rumor has It, which I give a "C.").

Today, a good friend of mine from Frederick, MD is coming to visit. Tonight, it's champagne and caviar (okay maybe no caviar) as we ring in the New Year at a party of a good friend who works on The Hill. And tomorrow, the Redskins play the Eagles. ... So, for the next 48 hours, all is rigth with the world.

... So how the heck are you?
