WASHINGTON, D.C., USA –  I’ve passed through D.C. many times, especially when driving down to Florida with my family.  And the only time I’ve gone into busy D.C. was to do a friend a favor, my friend Michael had no easy way of getting to college with all her luggage, it was her first year of college and so I drove her, helped her move.  I drove from Rockland County, NY then to Long Island to pick her up at her grandparaunrents and then headed south to D.C., it was an early and long trip.  Driving back home, I got stuck in the loop for 3 hours and then got stuck on 95north for 4 hours.  My friend Mihal, graduated from Law school and landed a fantastic job as a corporate attorney for a mayor company in NYC.   I reached out to her many times to keep in touch and check up on her and no true response.  Then one day I needed some small legal advice and she did not even want to listen to me, brushed me off, telling me she was very busy.  Well, well, well, I was also very busy, took the day off from work to help her out willingly and happily, but people do have short term memory.   On a better note, I did drive myself pass the White House area, saw it from far away and planning to visit soon.
