Seems like Regan and I are playing "Pass the Hiptop Nation Friend" today. I picked Aaron up from Wheaton Metro today where he experienced the longest escalator ride in the western hemisphere.

After hanging out for a little while at my house under the heavy rain, we drove over to see the Jim Henson Works exhibit at the University of Maryland College Park in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. The exhibit, situated in a small dark room at the entrance to the library, was underwheming but informative. Aaron explored the rest of the library and found a nice display of Moog Synthesizers. Amy stayed with Cici in the car as child was taking a much needed nap.

It was still pouring rain as we all headed to the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant by College Park Airport for an early dinner. More great conversation, sharing a beer with me back at the house and back to Wheaton Metro was how Aaron and I eased down the day.
