Fancy pants pot luck

The apartment complex in which we now reside held a potluck this evening. Being devoid of weapons of meal destruction (cook pots), we took a bottle of wine. The dinner was very nice, and everybody was friendly. We met Robins and (um, can't remember the wife's name). These kids are 25 year old lawyers for the federal govt. They referred to me and Taylor as "the older generation." Ouch.

Some diplomats were at another table. As we were leaving, I heard some guy saying that he is from Boston and then asking the probably-diplomat: "So, when you engage in multilateral work, what you doing?" Sheesh. Mr Boston was trying to sound smart I guess. I can only imagine the answer was: "In DC, there is not much multilateral work right now. We're just planning to continue relaxing for the next few years."
