I walked about a block, turned a corner and there was the Washington Monument. My father once told me whenever he looks at it he thinks it's going to take off.

Then for some reason, I thought I 'd like to find K Street, where the important lobbyists have their offices. Another block and there it is.

I thought maybe I'd eat at the K Street Burger King so I could know what those Washington "power lunches" feel like but I decided against it 'cause it was too expensive. Now I'm in the K Street Starbucks, charging up my computer. (It smells like bathroom in here.)

I think I'm only about two blocks from the Marriott, which I left at about 1.
