Ugh. Drove to the Pentagon today for a meeting. Had to leave at 0530, and it normally takes me 2 hours to drive. Today, the traffic was bad, and it took me an extra half hour. I was late for the meeting...only to find out upon arrival that the meeting was scheduled for TOMORROW! My colleague from the Lab was there, too, and fit to be tied. Oh well. What's five hours on the road for nothing?
I cooked a marvelous meal tonight--chicken with stuffing, potatoes, gravy, corn, and salad. Peter came over for supper, and then we played Twilight Struggle. I played the Soviets (again). About the middle of the Cold War, he conceded. I kicked his sorry capitalist butt out of Europe and was dominating him in the Middle East and Central America. Plus, I was scoring big time in Asia. The highlight of the game was when the Soviets blockaded Berlin, and the Americans did nothing in response. West Germany fell to Soviet control, followed quickly by France and Italy. By the end of the game, communists also controlled Mexico, Cuba, and most of the Middle East. Ha! Take that, you American pig-dog!
Back to the Pentagon tomorrow morning. Ugh.
