Going Dark for a Few Days

Off to DC to see my son sworn in to the DC bar.

Yes, yes, just what Washington DC needs, another lawyer . . . I know, I know.

I will take my creaky ol' IPAD with me, but you know how that goes.

I can't wait to see all the morose and depressed Dems.

I might even play a little Wagner outside the White House: Götterdämmerung!

  3. Well, Dip, I see morose Dems around the teachers' lounge every day where I work in the DC 'burbs. Congratulations to your son, and enjoy visiting old haunts.

    For a moment, I thought that such behavior might get you arrested under charges of sedition. Then I realized that no one in the current misadministration would recognize the music, much less its significance.

    Congratulations and enjoy the trip.

    "Music?"

  9. Congrats to the DiploSon.

    Might I also suggest you wander between Main Justice and the Main IRS buildings playing The Lord High Executioner's Song from the Mikado?

    1. My lawyer son was a libertarian, too, when he first graduated. He just wanted to be left alone to earn money and start his life. Now that he's worked for about 3 years, has a home and stuff, and a little money ... he's becoming more conservative. I suspect that letting everyone do their own thing isn't so great when you have more to lose.
