This is the day we have
all been waiting for: Science and Engineering Festival day one! I would be hard
pressed to explain why it is that I am not always interested in chasing down
details even if I am involved in the final version of a plan. All I am trying
to introduce to you is that on Thursday I woke up, and found out that I was
going to be riding the metro into the city with my step mom, and we were
supposed to find our way to the convention center. Deal, no prob; I mean, I
grew up in the grid system city of Tucson ,
so navigating DC (also grid) should have been a cinch. So, the two of us went
out the door and made our way to where we would catch the Metro. After riding
into the District with little or no effort, we emerge into the sunshine with
little or no clue of what direction is north, south, east, whatever. Luckily,
we looked exactly like the folks who needed a friendly push in the right
direction, and that is just what happened: two seconds after looking up and
down each street, someone nearby says “The convention center is that way.”
Perfect, but my pride wasn't thrilled that someone knew I was a tourist seconds
after getting out of the Metro.
We made it to the Walter Washington
Convention Center with no
further trouble, and pretty soon the rush of activity took the day away. We had
the opportunity to give two separate performances, which were now being called
workshops. The small difference between a workshop and a show is just the
amount of time you take to explain how members of the audience might find
themselves in our shoes: “We're not the myth busters,” my Dad explained, “you
can try this at home.” The workshops went very well. In both of these separate
cases the three of us got into a finely tuned rhythm, and the additional
questions from the audience gave us the chance to provide greater depth than
what we have become accustomed to. The only noteworthy punctuation between one
show and the other was our Indian food lunch break: each of us was soon stuffed
to the gills, and their curry was the perfect level of too hot to handle.

Tasty bits:
I had heard about the DC
film festival while I was at the Embassy last night, so today I went off in
search of some quality cinema. Just three city blocks from the convention
center, I found the Goethe Institut where they were showing the film Cairo Drive .
This is a must see Egyptian slice of life all done in the backseats of cars
suffering from traffic in Cairo .
Don't knock it till you try it.
There's a reason Best Weber Grills Memorial Day Sale is nearly synonymous with classic, quality grills. The brand has been around since the '50s, when the founder first invented the kettle grill. Since then, the company has kept the iconic bowl-shaped charcoal grill but also introduced gas grills, electric grills, wood pellet grills, and more—not to mention a range of grilling accessories, from grill thermometers to briquettes.
