"Stay in, watch TV and drink all day."

From a Washington Post article about the Ernesto-inspired rain:

"The bars will be packed today -- stay in, watch TV and drink all day," a patron interjected before heading out the door with a bottle of Appletini mix and a bottle of Jagermeister.

Sounds like a plan to me. The beauty of it is that while the quote is from Ocean City, it works anywhere. Genius.

I'm not going going anywhere this weekend; I could have gone to hang out at the lake, but I just didn't feel like it. I'm sure I will hear many stories of the awesomeness that I missed.

So what will I be doing instead?

Probably a lot of catchup blogging. (I seem to be on a weekly schedule at the moment.) Also, treating and uploading photos.

Basically, everything I was doing for work all week to get ready for the long weekend.

Now, I have been making noises in my head to go see a production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead up at Catholic University; maybe a matinee tomorrow.

Also, the Smithsonian's American Museum of American History takes a 2-year renovation break after Monday (though to me, the distressing thing is how fast the time goes by, looking at the Washington Monument and National Portrait Gallery closings and reopenings).

We'll see.
