Overheard, Penn Station, Baltimore:

“Is Mommy getting loaded in the car?”

Overheard, Penn Station, Baltimore:

“Can you connect me to a beauty salon, please?”

Seen, 17th Street & Pennsylvania Ave., DC:

A jovial looking man with a striking resemblance to Santa Claus, though in an impeccably tailored long black wool coat and pinstripe suit and black leather gloves, chatting amiably with several people outside the NEOB. Then he makes his farewells and heads out to the street. Under his arm is a stack of copies of the President’s 2007 Budget. He gets into the passenger seat of a white SUV labeled “ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY,” which merges smoothly into the traffic and disappears.
