Blogging or miscellaneous ramblings?

OK, so either I have ADD or I don't follow instructions (my mother would say the latter) because I just jumped into this without doing the exercises or the 23 things. I started blogging without first documenting how I'm learning to blog. After all, this is supposed to be more about learning than just rambling on. So, hereafter I will try to stick to the program (it won't be easy).

But...before I do that, my second day in D.C. was quite different than the first. I passed on a trip to the Spy Museum to see if they had Maxwell Smart's shoe phone or any cool 007 type gadgets, and ambled over to the National Building Museum to hear author David Macaulay talk about using perspective in the art of drawing architecture. Then it was to the ALA exhibits to scope out library furniture. Oh, if only our library had the money to buy some of the furnishings I saw! Saw some nice stuff and got some good ideas. That night I visited the reading room at the Library of Congress.

Yesterday was the day to check out library movers. A long day, but informative and productive. Oh yes, last night I saw the President leave the Ford Theater and he waved as he drove by, not 20 feet away. The amount of security here is incredible.

Alright, the blob -- oops, that's a 1958 movie with Steve McQueen -- the blog, I mean. I promise to start doing my exercises.

But first, I'm going to try and add a video by an accordion player who has crossed over to rap.

Who do you think that is?
