Okay. I'm about to pack the car and head out. I think I found a recharger to fit my Blackberry. We'll see in a day or so if it works or if I lost my mind. I need to pack the car, run by the bank, and then head to DC. I've got the TomTom and it says around 7 hours, so I'm looking at an arrival time of 3-4 p.m. This will be a new experience with the TomTom. I've never just picked up and left without considerably more pre-planning! I'm staying at the Marriott down the street from the convention hotel, about a half mile, so after I settle in, I may walk up to the other place to see if I can get a feel for things. Something is going on later tonight, but I can't really remember what.

Incidentally, that "bonus CD" in the Book of Mormon... oh.my.god is it comical!!! So much so that when I get a chance, I'm going to make a transcript of the drivel spewed forth from Ezra Taft Benson's lips (and who is that you may be saying) and make a mockery of it that it sooooo richly deserves. It's some of the most empty-headed crap I've ever heard!
