| A TOUR OF D.C. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the middle of November, we took a little trip out to Washington D.C. Adrienne was sent to a training at UVA, and I tagged along to spend some time with my brother. He works at the Library of Congress, so I got to check out some of the behind-the-scenes workings of the Copyright Office, the Library itself, and some of the other infamous buildings of "downtown" D.C. The trip also included a stop at the zoo, where you can see we felt right at home. And of course there was much eating (burritos, anyone?) and bookstore-hopping. CDs were played, strange observations were made, even stranger odors wafted around, and then it was over all too soon. |

| Here�s Chuck posing at the unofficial farewell party for the Copyright Office�s old logo. He�s updated their graphics to something that almost makes the government look respectable. Almost. Well, it could fool someone for a second, maybe� if they were really distracted by something else� like a war in the Middle East. Hey, it�s worked for the government before. |
