As I prepare to ditch Washington, DC, things I remember from my 16 years living by the Potomac River.
2000 Super Bowl party at the White House. The former football fan-in-chief was walking around working the room:
PRESIDENT CLINTON: Thank you son for coming to my Super Bowl party.
ME: Thank you sir it's great!
PRESIDENT CLINTON: How do you like it?
ME: [long pause due to brain freeze, stupidity, and confusion] Free suds and pizza, I love it!
PRESIDENT CLINTON: [Awkward silence and walks away]

Well there's nothing quite like the feather in your cap that causes a president to be lost for words!
Being silent
Something Washington doesn't do well.
Thanks for visiting.
wow I just typed a real long comment and I think it got lost....anyway bottom line was I hope your new locale has plenty of free suds and pizza for you.
That's pretty cool!
Where are you off to?
