There's a good chance I'll be heading to Washington, D.C. sometime
late-November for a week to visit the museums of the
Smithsonian Institution. The last time I was there was
waaay back in '96 (if I recall correctly), and the
exhibits would likely have changed since then.
Then I'll be in Japan again next year from March 21 to April
7.
What about you?
