I don't know why but I still have nightmares two nightmares that still freaks me out:
1. I find out that must return to college because I didn't have enough credit to graduate.
2. I find out that I didn't pass my last CPA exam and now I need to retake the other three.

When I have dreams about being back in school/college, there's never a reason behind it. I'm always just there back in my dorm at GW and I have to take an exam or something, and the fact that I'm also married and have spent years being a lawyer is only a minor inconsistency in this scenario.

Speaking of lawyering, got to put on a full suit and head downtown to the office yesterday. Got a spicy chicken salad sandwich from Farmbird in Penn Quarter for lunch, which I think must be new? It was very good.

I don't have school exam dreams, but I used to be a news reporter, and I do still have dreams where I am trying to finish a story and do a live report and am running out of time. I haven't been a reporter since 2003, and yet I still have these dreams several times a year. Post traumatic TV syndrome.

Wifey and I out for dinner on this sunny evening. New Zegna Elements light jacket. They do amazing things with wool. (yes, was wearing mask but pulled it off for pic).

It's a gray herringbone with a green quilted lining.

Isn't Zegna stuff really expensive?

@TheSuitBurnsBetter really glad to see Farmbird expanding. I live about 10 min from the H street location and probably have it weekly. I’ve enjoyed everything on the menu, and the mac n cheese is particularly excellent.

Walking along Wilson around Clarendon Metro. Sun was going down so light seemed to work.

Stumbled on a great NWT deal at Ownly Luxury.

This looks like it's right in front of the location where Minh's vietnamese restaurant used to be.

I think the PQ location must have just recently opened. Even though I've saved a bunch of money this year having lunch at home, gotta admit that I miss a lot of the lunch places and food trucks around my office.

The dream where you don't have credits to graduate stops when you hit your 40s. I haven't had that dream in years but I remember it vividly. I had a variation on it, where school officials are banging my door to take away my degree because I failed or didn't take a required course.

I almost wasn't allowed to graduate because of unpaid parking tickets. When it happens in real life, you never dream about it afterwards.
