okay well all the scary people have left the hotel now and it is much quieter. We took a spin in hte car yesterday to go over to Springfield Mall [dave wanted comic books] and then had a huge detour on the way back as the I95 southbound had a major crash and traffic was piled up. We got to see a lot of the Virginia countryside though – and realised it is not all like reston – a lot of it is but not all!
Sat in the hotel bar for a while last night and drank way too much again. Absolut Mandarin and Cointreau amongst the shots we had and Dave and I had to order food to the bar in an attempt to sober up.
Went into the office this morning and got Dave sorted out with a security badge and met up with some of the AOL staff here – also took him to the AOL shop – you know the kind of thing AOL Time Warner branded goods. I erm must admit to having bought Jack a little AOL jacket in case it rains – dogs you know are really not waterproof and need little rain macs – I may even have to take a pic and send it over to ickle.org.
note to self
how's my typing?
