"I'M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY...
Yankee doodle do or die...
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...born on the 4th of July"...
Why the "Americana blog"? Well, thats because I'm going to Washington DC!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been there before (never really wanted to), but this time its practically free...and I'll have a friend or two with me! YIPPEE!!!
My work is sending me off onto another great "business" trip in August, this time to McLean, VA...which is practically 5 seconds from DC. So, I'm taking advantage of this great thing and milking it for all its worth, and staying over for the weekend.
My good friend Karen (and hopefully Sarah too) is joining me in DC on Friday night and we're spending the weekend there...catching the sites, going to the Smithsonian, and maybe trickle on up to Georgetown (where I desperately hope to run into Andrew McCartney on the set of "St. Elmos Fire II". Sorry, inside joke)
Is it wrong for me to NOT want to spend too much time dwelling on American history? I mean, I like being an American and all...and the freedom...and the Purple mountain majesties blah blah blah...but COME ON! We're only a little over 200 years old...AND PRETTY BORING!
Give me the gillatine, the tower of london, the berlin wall, or pompei ANY DAY over Gettisburg..."boring boring boring..."
Maybe its really really cool. Maybe I'll be blown away by the Washington Monument, or the Lincoln memorial. (is it true that Abe Lincolns statue has him making a sign-language "A" and and "L" with his hands? I guess I'll find out...huh?
