I’m about to leave for Washington, D.C., where I’ll:
(1) Be sworn in as a member of the National Council on the Arts
and attend my first meeting.
(2) See the Kennedy Center’s production of Mister Roberts.
(3) Take a v. cool friend to the Phillips Collection for the first time.
(4) Follow my brother around. (He’s coming to Washington to represent the family at my swearing-in, but he has a long list of other stuff he wants to do.)
(5) Try to get some work done on Hotter Than That: A Life of Louis Armstrong.
I’ll be gone until Saturday, and while I’ll be taking my iBook with me, it isn’t likely that I’ll be doing much blogging, given the demands of my itinerary. I promise to check in with you if time permits, though, and of course I’ll be back at the old stand next Monday, rain or shine. I’m not sure what OGIC will be up to while I’m gone, but I’m sure she’ll be poking her head in from time to time, so be sure to look in on us.
Later. Have a nice week.
P.S. The Top Fives are updated. Take a look!
