Were in DC right now, basically at the start of the world's most expensive Giants game (got tix in a week and a half to see the Giants and the Orioles at Camden Yards and yes, we are psyched). Learned some new things on the flight over today.

Such as:

-If you want to avoid all the security lines at the airport, a bigger hassle than before due to the recent supposed terrorist threat, just get there a little late and make sure you're dinged by security. At least twice I got into some big huge line, thinking I was doomed to miss my flight, only to be shuttled off by airport security to be checked out. Turns out One Way tickets make you highly suspicious. I would also like to thank the Airport Security for checking up on the 5' 2" mid-40 year old, 80 pound Filipino women who was in line behind me. She definately had the makings of some ninja Al-Qeda terrorist.

-Your walkman headphones work just as well as those stupid-ass, cheap-ass, five dollar head phones they try and make you purchase in order to watch the in-flight movie.

-There is a novelization of "The Passion of Jesus Christ." For those who like the version in the New Testament, but don't think it's violent enough. And yes, it's pretty small.

-You can't leave your seat for the last half-an-hour of the flight into Washington International (or, as the Conservatives like to call it "Ronald Reagan International Airport.") Which means if you have to take a piss during the last portion of the flight, you're SOL. Once again, thank you John Ashcroft.
