Washington, D.C. used to be a decent place to live. I went to high school there, commuting from northern Virginia, and the Federal District was like holy sites.

Except for the Vietnam Memorial (and that one almost became an antiwar protest) I won’t go any nearer D.C. than Fort Myer or Arlington National Cemetery, where our heroes are being buried daily. Going to a military funeral, that’s all that’s left that you can do.

I grew-up in PG and Montgomery counties. I have two good friends of mine here in FL that gradutated from DeMatha. Even as a kid I loved DC and would sneak downtown just to walk around.

I might go back with my grown son to do the history thing for a few days but other than that I have no desire to go back for anything.
