Steamy

The heat has finally arrived in DC, and I decided this morning that I have a new goal: While wearing work clothes, I will attempt to never allow outside air to touch my skin. I think I have a good chance of doing it. This week I started working on the BRAC Commission contract at Crystal City; and if you're familiar Crystal City, you know it's totally doable. When I leave my apartment, I get into the elevator, head down to the parking garage, and get into my air conditioned car. Then I drive to Crystal City, enter another parking garage, then go directly into the building. No need to leave for lunch or any pesky errands. At the end of the day, I go back to the parking garage, get into my car, drive home, and return to my apartment without once leaving air conditioned comfort. I wonder how many days in a row I can do this? Once I'm out of my work clothes, the rules don't apply. I can sweat myself silly on my bike, go to the supermarket, go out, or whatever. But I think I can successfully lead my life without ever venturing outdoors before 5:30 pm.
