Joel's Fleet


Joel has added to his Fleet. Now he has one BMW 318is, the incoming Honda VFR700 motorcycle, and the outgoing (up for sale soon) Kawasaki Ninja 250.

He got the VFR from friend's dad who gave him a great deal - the VFR was actually cheaper than the ninja, and the sale of the ninja should pay for the VFR with a few hundred in profit.

Washington DC


I had a 2 day conference - AMGA (American Medical Group Association) in DC and Kevin and I went 2 days early and stayed an extra day to see the sites. Kevin had a great time at the Smithsonian while I was in conference. Our first day we went to the Library of Congress where there was an exhibit of Thomas Jefferson's Library. He was a great book collector and reader. We thought of Garry - he would have been like Kevin - salivating.

The White House







We went on a 4 mile self-guided walking tour of the monuments and memorials. Below is the Jefferson Memorial.




The Korean War Memorial. The granite wall has 'ghosts' carved in the stone. The sculptors reflect in the wall as well. Beautifully designed.



The Vietnam War Memorial.




The Lincoln Memorial
