Maggie Left Today

Maggie had a good last day living in DC today. We went to get coffee at Heller's Bakery. I helped her pack her car. We went for a run through Rock Creek Park. We ate lunch in her kitchen. Then she drove off to New York.

Society Section: Artcade Launch Party

ARTCADE: "The Party" took place on U St NW last night. All of the shmoozers were there, including the mysterious BeerFace. Donations weren't necessary, but they were welcome. I took a few of my own. The more kegs kicked (five in all) the better the bands played. Cameras were required at the door, so we were all taking pictures of each other. Towards the end of the night everyone started getting old. I showed up as a 29-year-old and left when I turned 80. Luckily I found a slice of Manny and Olga's Pizza on a gas meter walking home. Oh, and only one party casualty. Good times ARTCADE!

Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, and The District of Columbia

I woke up this morning and ceremoniously scanned the job postings. Then Casey gave me a Drivers' Day pep talk. Today was the day I traded in my learners permit for a full-fledged license by completing the on-road driving test. It is the first day I have had an actual license in over 4 years- and I have held a license in 4 states now. Well, 3 states and Washington, D.C. I took Maggie back her car keys and went to celebrate in "Yard," with Rockwell, Alex V., and A.J. Yes, Freedom! (I also updated my resume.)

Walker and Eating

I walked around DC with Craig Walker most of the day Thursday. I mailed some resumes and we looked at used books. Later I walked to Maggie's to borrow her car keys. Then I went home and ate the best bean soup I've ever had. No meat!

I am fortunate I have friends advise me in my efforts to look for a job and secure my future.

Maggie's Last Happy Hour

Peace Corps friends came to the Big Hunt to wish Maggie a happy future at Happy Hour.

Unfinished Picture

Maggie is leaving for Cornell, hundreds of miles away. We broke up for the second time in six months yesterday. Such a beautiful little flower. Our relationship is unfinished, like this drawing of her.

Weekend

No Sun, No Pool

thunderstorms = no swimming
