Skipped databases to show up early to Neal Stephenson talk. Got there about 3:45ish for tha 4:30 talk, already a couple dozen people in line. Got a fine seat. Talk was pretty good. It kind of dropped off suddenly at the end, but it had its moments. Bought a copy of Zodiac, since I hadn't read it yet.
Sat on the grass on the Mall, took sandals off, and read for a while until the sun started getting too low in the sky. Weather. So. Nice.
Started to walk back home, ran into
