After my way-too-long geeze about the WP Guest House, I completely for got the point of my story. The elderly are allowed to go off on tangents, you know…

Anyway, I was going to say that the last time I was near Dupont Circle, there appeared to be a number of wimmenz without skivvies. One of them grinned at me.

But it’s been a long time since I’ve been there, so maybe the area has changed. Maybe she was just doing the bike-of-shame, as you suggested.

Alan – The WP Guest House is a five minute walk from my apartment!

I wasn’t sure about the name, so I had to Google. Let me tell you, it’s the same place, but it’s not the same place we stayed in 20-some years ago. A review I read said it was renovated in 2001, or I would have assumed I just remembered the name wrong.

When we stayed, we splurged and got a private bathroom. You could save a few bucks and share a bath and shower if you wanted. I don’t think the TV even worked*. It was just a few stops above a crack hotel.

On the drive down, as we approached Dupont Circle (or were leaving DuPont circle), I was sleeping in the front seat and my wife was driving. I opened my eyes and looked out the window and this beefy chick was standing on the corner. As our eyes made contact, she flashed me a big toothless grin. I told my wife, “Holy crap! That toothless crack-whore just smiled at me.” My wife told me to consider it a compliment.

We had a great time, though and we’ve been taking about another long weekend in DC with my rugrat**. Maybe we’ll stay in the same place and see how it’s changed.

*I just read that they don’t have TVs now. Upon reading that, I kind of remembered that may have been the case originally, as well.

**Can’t take the rugrat. They don’t allow kids. I kind of wonder how legal that is.
