438 on the ride in this morning. I had a seat the whole time. I don’t know if that helped my word count or not.
Unfortunately, with the idiotic waste of time meeting I had to go to before I left work and then the aforementioned trivia, I only got about 1,100 words yesterday. So this morning’s word count is just getting me back to about on track.
It’s okay, though. The wife is going out of town for a day or two, and I can spend the entire time writing. Wives can be really distracting. I mean, they’re great and all, and mine is particularly great. But they tend to not like it if you ignore them all the time and don’t help with cooking or cleaning or anything.
Which reminds me, I won a little bet with the wife last night at trivia. Had I lost, I would have had to cook dinner three nights in a row. Unfortunately, I never thought of what she would have to do if I won. It was one of the trivia questions. It said that Columbia Heights, our wonderful transitional neighborhood, was named for Columbia College. Columbia College has a new name. What is it?
Well, the wife was sure it was Howard, because Howard is more or less in Columbia Heights (Or Shaw, whatever, they’re right next door). While that is certainly a reasonable guess, I was pretty sure it was GW. Turns out I was right.
