This week The Day Gig took Your Humble Narrator to Washington, D.C. for a couple of quick, eventful days. I found myself giving a short speech at the German Embassy...
...and hanging out with the likes of Robert Edsel, author of The Monuments Men...

I also made it to Shakespeare Theatre Company's production of Babbitt...
...a remarkable new stage adaptation of the Sinclair Lewis novel, with Matthew Broderick in the title role.
Best of all, I got to hang out and chow down with my awesome nieces and their husbands...
For Taco Tuesday, I was taken downtown to Oyamel Cocina Mexicano, where I partook of...
...a taco filled with Oaxacan grasshoppers, aka chapulines. It was okay at best. I've since read that chapulines are said to have a tangy flavor; I couldn't detect it, or any flavor, really. It was like eating a taco full of empty popcorn kernel husks. Luckily I was able to follow it with two other tacos, one lengua and one pescado, both scrumptious.
