It has been a light week here at Overheard in D.C.’s cramped quarters, but we understand that most sane people would rather be out enjoying this incredible weather than basking in the warmth of a computer monitor’s glow, sending us emails. However, we were particularly tickled by an email sent in by a reader from the great metropolis to our north, pointing us to his blog entry recounting a recent conversation with a sobriety-challenged, directionally-challenged friend in D.C. It’s not technically an Overheard in D.C., but we couldn’t not pass it along.
