Dateline: Crowne Plaza Hamilton, Washington DC, 13 September 2005

Office of Secretary of Defense flew me in tonight, saving tomorrow night's client some travel money, so I can be in the Pentagon NLT 0730. Got a parking spot and a colonel and everything.

Lucky to have a room. DeAngelis is here tonight in his usual stomping grounds, but even he who sleeps in hotels a couple hundred times a year had trouble getting his tonight. Something about DC right now. No room at the inn.

After The Building tomorrow, me and Steve will be meeting with some people (quite a few actually) at the Department of Homeland Security, where, given my many jokes at their expense, I must truly be a beloved figure. Or maybe they're just as SysAdmin'y as I've always suspected they were . . ..

We shall see.

Day just begins after that. Gotta sing for my supper.

Such ambition for tomorrow, and me, I think I forgot to pack any Claritin. I can see it on my bedstand at home right now. As such I need some sleep tonight. Firing off some posts before I hit the hay.
