The night they drove old D.C. down...

Well here I am in the Nation's capital, ostensibly reviewing biomedical grants for NIH. I'm still on Seattle time and can't sleep (although I'll probably make up for this by napping with my eyes open in the meeting later today). Anyway I've started to fiddle with the blog. Have decided to sort out this web photo hosting business. Have managed to get a "signature' pic on my profile although still not sure how to insert photos in the postings as they'll just show up as a URL link (I think). So I'm going to fiddle a bit. Bear with me...

Last night was fun. Went to a crabhouse with some old cronies. The restaurant was basic. Newspaper on the tables and crab carcasses everywhere. The boiled crustaceans were served in heaps. "Silverware" comprised a wooden mallet and a paring knife. Paper napkins were provided by the ton. The crabs were delicious, shrimps even better. I needed to be hosed down afterwards though and heaven knows what my cholesterol intake was.

I'm hoping to get out of town early this afternoon. Otherwise it's a late flight and I won't arrive back in the Emerald City until midnight. Not too awful in the scheme of things but tomorrow I go to Hawaii (I know, I know, life is tough) for a birthday bash. This involves leaving the house at 6.30am. So I'll barely have time to feed the cats, take a shower and repack before heading off tto the airport.

Oh well, time to prepare for another day's slog so I'll sign off by attempting to post another photo of yesterday's session...

Well folks it was just as I predicted. The photo link just shows up as a URL and not even a hypertext link either. I'll have to research this further...
