Actually, I didn't miss the train to Baltimore, I caught it, well the train
from DC to the Baltimore airport, but before we got to the airport I realized
that my flight was actually leaving from Dulles so I hopped off the train to
Baltimore -- having paid no fare thanks to the kindness of the conductor who
took mercy on a new arrival's airport befuddlement -- and paid, instead, $90 to
a Pakistani cabbie who drove me to Dulles just in time for my flight...
So I didn't get off in DC, I got off instead in New Carrollton, but I still
missed the glories of Baltimore. Does it count that I listened to the recent
John Waters NPR interview while I was here in DC -- including the extra-juicy
clip reserved for the web site?

P.S. God's in pretty good company not living up to people's youthful
expectations. Nothing to hold against god, it would seem to me.
