Room with a View
I have finally arrived in Washington DC. The empty flight from Atlanta went off with out a hitch and I am getting settled into my apartment which I am sharing with another guy from the program. This week is full of orientation type of activities, then we have a 3 day weekend for the holiday. Tuesday starts work down at Ft. McNair with NDU. I have a wonderful view of the Capital from my window on the 200 block of Constitution Ave. Unfortunately there isn’t really a
convenient place to go grocery shopping on Capital Hill, amazing I know.
My roommate is a 21 year old senior who is from the Athens area and seems like a nice enough dude, it is just a bit of an adjustment to go from my wife and dogs to living with a hormone enriched 21 year old man. I think we will get along just fine. I look forward to getting to know him better.
Without a car I should lose some poundage. Everything is at least a 1/2 mile walk, heck it is 6 flights of stairs to my room, because I do not trust the rickety elevator that once hoisted U.S. Grant to the 3rd floor so he could take a pee on the way to the white house (Christina, that is a made up story, I am just emphasizing that it is old). Living so close to the Capital offer very nice vistas and also provides a wonderful opportunity for hearing Capital Police Sirens on a fairly regular basis.
Blog 1 is in the books and maybe if Christina is lucky I will write in it again.
Here is my updated contact info

I read it!!! For future posts, please dumb it down a little. I don’t understand your big words.
Thank you for doing this. It means a lot.
Miss you Matty
This is awesome baby
I’m going to forward the link to my mom so they can be up-to-date as well. Talk to you in a little while!

Glad to hear that you’re settling in well. Your blog name is awesome! I’m going to forward your blog along to Aaron. Now I’m off to singing “too legit” for the rest of the day. Wonderful. Have fun with orientation.
This is a great web journal. I hope you have the time to continue it, but I suspect you may find yourself working too much to make regular entries- which is good. I hope you have a blast while you are in DC.
