Our taxi driver liked to talk about poop and spanking, which are two fairly normal past-times (I think).

YOU and I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/nbm.org\">National Building Museum<\/a>, a tucked away, sparsely attended Smithsonian museum that features ideas and exhibits about urban planning and architecture.  The two exhibits we saw were equally well-done and innovative: one featured ideas about <a href=\"http:\/\/nbm.org\/Exhibits\/greenHouse2\/greenHouse.htm\">energy efficient Green housing<\/a>, and the other an exhibit about the <a href=\"http:\/\/nbm.org\/Exhibits\/current\/newer_orleans.html\">rebuilding efforts in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina<\/a> (though there was some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prosebeforehos.com\/government_employee\/05\/22\/a-hurricane-katrina-museum-exhibit-defiled\/index.html\">thought vandalism<\/a>).  This was followed by some indigestion-inspiring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capitalqbbq.com\/\">Capital Q BBQ<\/a>, a nice walk around the mailbox-filled, but otherwise empty, streets of DC, and a good game of tennis (hey, you got better pretty quick, and you better do tennis lesson this summer).<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, we went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/ac2\/wp-dyn?node=cityguide\/profile&#038;id=1105527\">Eleventh Street<\/a> lounge, one of the cooler spots I&#8217;ve been to in Clarendon.  With good house music and relaxed vibe, it is free of what the WP lightly calls the &#8216;interchangeable&#8217; crowds and atmosphere of Clarendon (aka pathetic looking yuppies dancing to hip hop in darkened Jager Bomb holes).  Plus, we sang Lisa Loeb&#8217;s stay, aka the perfect night cap.<\/p>\n<p>Some random non-sequitor thoughts\/phrases about the weekend: poop shivers, naked twister. Why can&#8217;t YOU live in DC?  Also, you let out some horrible farts.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, FINI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday night, went to Union Station and picked YOU up.
