Route planning

[pecunium]

It is my present intent to leave Tennessee on the 19th, and stay somewhere in the DC area. I think about five people have expressed an interest in seeing me as I pass through.

So I am opening the floor to suggestions; realising I am looking for something in the early eveing, in/around DC/Silver Spring. Depending on where I'm staying/when I get in, the Metro may be a factor.

I'm in Fredneck, MD, but I will be in the middle of the busiest work weeks of the year, and so it's unlikely I'll be able to cut myself loose and drive down...that said, if you're in Silver Spring, the best place I can recommend for lunch or dinner is Mandalay restaurant. Fabulous Malay/Indonesian cuisine. Prices are reasonable, food is beyond outstanding, and the family that owns/runs it is exeptionally nice.

I don't know where I'll be, but I like the Silver Spring/Takoma Park area. I have a sentimental attachment to it from my time at Walter Reed.

But I will add that to the list of possibles.

Hi.

I don't have any space here, can't put you up, but I definitely want to see you if at all possible.

Mandalay is seriously da bomb. Only one thing: as you will guess from the name it's actually Burmese, not Malay/Indonesian. Otherwise, the description is spot on.

If you get a chance, call or email. (If you don't have my phone #, it's at the bottom of just about every page at jossresearch.org, along with a crudely encrypted version of my email address.) If you don't get a chance, I will try to stay in the loop here.

Best —
