We decided to celebrate Labor day with Americas favorite past time. Baseball. We found some cheap tickets online so about ten of us decided to go. The nationals are not the best team in the league, but the stadium is nice and baseball games are generally fun. the game itself was great, the Nationals crushed the mets 12-3 and there were some fun moments. Not much else to really say about it.

After the game I went and met some other friends at the Smithsonian National Portrait gallery, to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit. I like Rockwell a lot because he paints such a simple world. His paintings remind me of the fifties, Happy Days, the Brady Bunch, Andy Griffith, and that generation and culture. I bought an 8x10 postcard of this painting below in the giftshop because it reminded me of the movie "the sandlot."

After the museum we went to "Wok N Roll" which is in China town, just a few blocks away from the museum. I had been pretty excited to try it out because there is cheap sushi AND Chinese food. And it is located in the Mary Surratt boarding house. Mary Surratt was one of the conspirators in the Lincoln assassination, so the building is pretty famous. Now it has a chinese restaurant. I wonder if they did that as a way to continue punishing surratt a century later. The food I had was great, combination fried rice and General Tso's Chicken. I realize that almost every single entry I write has a good deal of food commentary, and I am ok with that. because I am all about the SCONEing.
On another note, my feet are suffering quite a bit lately. I made the mistake of wearing new sandals to walk around the city one day, and they wore holes in my feet. I think they started as blisters, then wore through a few more layers of skin. This is what they look like. Woof. My right foot is just as bad.
