Nov 8: Adventures in DC

I am making my first trek in four years to DC and I am really excited. It will be nice to get out the city and see some new surroundings. What I love is the close proximity in which states reside in the southeast. So in four hours time I will find myself in a completely different state. I wonder what adventure it holds for me.

I found that I didn’t even need to leave the state of New York to encounter the first adventure. I merely needed to step onto the bus that would be transporting me. It stank. It smelt like doo doo balls and fatback. It was really gross. To add insult to injury I usually pick up on every noise on a bus, plane, etc. so the lady smacking her gum in the seat in front of me was really starting to piss me off. Then I had to pee but didn’t want to risk catching Hepatitis C on the disgusting toilet located on the bus.

Riddle me this. If you knew that you were having guests come from out of town you would make sure that you were there to pick them up in a timely manner right? No not my friend. He wanted to make sure this trip was as pleasant as possible by being more than an hour away when my bus arrived. Did I mention that he was in another state? Sure the states are close together so this doesn’t really matter but I thought it added a little drama. I had to talk to Jesus so I wouldn’t have an attitude about it. Then I brushed it off and decided that as his punishment he would be paying for everything this weekend. My meals, entertainment, souvenirs, whatever. I’m still very excited about this trip.
