I'm in line to see HW Bush right now. Apparently they're keeping the Capitol open all night.

More power to you. I was at the Capitol at 8:30 last night after a full day and evening of activities. I worried that the line would take me past midnight and I might not get back to my hotel in New Carrollton.

I got in line just after 6:00. I made it into the rotunda about 9:15, and the line looked like it had doubled by the time I got out. I can't imagine everyone in line stayed until they got in at that point.

I've been thinking a lot about becoming a devout Christian lately. I don't yet plan on converting, and even if I did I most certainly would not be doing it now, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if I was a Church going Methodist in 5-10 years time.

In an era and culture of increasing irreligiosity, what do you think is making you swim against the current?

I think I saw Paul Wolfowitz today.

Well I can now check "get french kissed by a drunk coworker wearing a platypus onesie" off my bucket list.

Well, yesterday I officially got the hell out of dodge and am now back in Seattle with my family for the remainder of this crisis. Fortunately, it only took a little persuading with my job, since we were already working from home. I might post some pictures later of how travelling across the country looks right now. It was utterly surreal.

Today was my last day at work for the org I've been at since February 2018. On to grad school and trying to get an appointment at the visa office that just reopened in the middle of a pandemic.
