Hello from overcast Washington, DC. I'm here on behalf of the Arnold Air Society to attend our annual executive board meeting representing schools in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Also included are several social functions, most notably the Airmen of the Year dinner and Air Force anniversary gala. I'll return to Knoxvegas on 14 Sep.

I plan to sightsee as much as possible (only my second time in DC), so look for pictures as the trip goes on. That is, of course, assuming I can continue to mooch free wireless off of "Yoni and Kitt," who are presumably located somewhere nearby in my hotel.
