Quiet Midnight Walk

On Saturday night, I was groggy from inadequate sleep the night before. Thus, I napped (while catching most of a good movie, "The Shawshank Redemption", on TV).

Later, I was feeling restless, so I drove to Midtown and walked the streets, heading first from where I work to the nightlife on the K Street Mall, then to Faces in Midtown, then back. Still fatigued, I didn't go into any clubs: I just observed.

Not much was happening. I saw only one person appearing to evade nightclub security (and despite that person's amateurish efforts, nightclub security overlooked him). I saw only one person writhing on the sidewalk in a fitful effort to get some sleep. It seemed to be a quiet night.
