expeditions

Well, the weekend had some extreme ups and downs. Our rugby match was cancelled due to a number of reasons, but we made lemonade from lemons and held a social anyway, since the keg and bar were reserved beforehand. Afterwards I used the extra time to get stuff done around the house. Following gardening and chores on Saturday I took my disco nap and then headed out to pick up Jon, Gurl, Chrisafer and Seamus. While driving southbound on 14th street we were going through a green light and was smashed in the side by a slow-moving Ford Expedition doing an illegal left turn filled with Eurotrash yupsters from Maryland who were gabbing away on a cell phone. I was driving and Gurl was behind me in the back seat, and it was amazing we didn't get smooshed...the frickin' bumper of the Expedition was as tall as me. Luckily they were just moseying along and couldn't do much damage at their speed. There is some damage, but the doors work, as do the locks and power windows. I'm quite grateful to be in good health.

So we headed out to Nation, and probably the only thing that could have negated the auto accident was a retro mix of 'It Takes Two' vs 'Like a Prayer'. I was truly not worthy, but accepted the DJs blessing with decorum and a big 'ol girly squeal. The evening rolled along at that pace for some time. It turns out my buddy Keith is no stranger to the disco sub-sub-culture, but had to head home early anyway. I kept busy being my flirty self and had a lot of fun. As we drove home we narrowly avoided an auto jam caused by a piece of rubble which had fallen from an overpass. Only in DC. The unexpected detour allowed me to find a long-sought Brigadoonesque way to get home quicker, however.
