2. Oops. I probably should explain that Mike is a friend of mine who has many cats.
3. Oh—and he’s one of my many super-awesome DC friends, and I can’t imagine coming here without seeing him.
4. We toured the National Museum of African American History and Culture—which I have SO MUCH to say about—this afternoon and then had dinner and then took this selfie before we parted ways.
5. But look at that little dot that’s artfully centered at the vanishing point of the streets between us ...
6. It’s the dome of the Capitol!
7. We did that because we’re both artsy and civic-minded.
8. But not because Mike has three cats.
9. THREE.
10. Also: Notice the artful placement of Mike’s head ...
11. IT’S TOTALLY BLOCKING THE STABLE GENIUS HOTEL!
12. You’re welcome.
13. Let’s see: Mike ... unmanly amounts of cats ... totally cool friend ... Capitol with an O ... artful vanishing-point composition ... the hotel that shall not be named ... THREE CATS ... hmmm ... what’s left?
14. Oh yeah: I TOTALLY STABBED A DUDE.
15. I mean with my straw.
16. I mean with the placement of my straw relative to the locations of my iPhone and the orange-shirted dude behind me.
17. So not STABBED stabbed.
18. So don’t call the police.
19. THREE CATS.
20. None of which he brought with him today.
