Saw Pat Methney Group on Tuesday at Lisner Auditorium on the campus of George Washington University. It could have been an excellent concert but the sound was a few decibels too loud, which was almost painful when the full group was at full throttle. I could tell from the first few chords on the amplified acoustic guitar that the sound wasn't right. Guess I'll have to get some of those musicians earplugs for such occasions.

Spent most of the day at the Reston Charrette, a series of meetings to discuss the land use around proposed subway stations in Reston. I guess I still care about this place despite all the negatives. I just wish the air were cleaner and the roads more bike friendly. Just those two qualities would make such a difference in the livability of this place.

For some strange reason I'm finding lots of excuses to avoid the 4 hour commute. Also finding excuses not to work at all.
