I started out this morning in LA teaching Alec and Jordan how to ride bikes. That was ill-fated due to tire pressure issues and they fact that they are just little kids. Balance, nerves, and general inattentiveness made progress difficult, but they got a lesson on the basics that make for good bike riding. After that, I headed to the airport for the trip to Washington, DC.
There was a brief stop in Houston to change planes and, in a totally random coincidence, my friend Ryan, who was traveling from Canada, misconnected on a flight and was stuck in Houston. He called me to say hello and, low and behold, I was a few gates away totally by chance. We got to meet for a few minutes and then I headed off to DC.
Arriving late, I made it to the hotel around midnight ...but still on California time, so I am wide awake. Tomorrow I have a full day of meetings, so I'm going to try to sleep soon. DC is a beautiful city to see from the air at night. I don't think I'd enjoy living here much, but the monuments and capitol looked great from the air as the plane approached Reagan National. The Lincoln Memorial at night is one of my favorite sites.
