I’m off to Washington, D.C., today, our nation’s capitol (whatever that means). I’m working Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the D.C. Improv and going to Walter Reed hospital on Monday to pass out books and smiles and such. Not the first time I’ve been in either place.

While I’m there in Washington I’ll try to give my ideas for solving every problem in the world. I think I can do it, too, although the first step — having all members of Congress make out with people with the swine flu — may be a difficult sell.

I’m going to take the computer with me (if I can get it together; never a sure thing), so I hope to be writing o’er the weekend.

If any of you get to the shows say hello.

Your pen pal,

Larry
