My Car, Mt. Vesuvius

The engine of my car after it spewed like Mt Vesuvius this morning. The most exciting part was driving down Rt 395, smoke billowing, trying to make it to the mechanics before the whole thing exploded. I'm not bold that way. My hands were shaking. Now, mind you, I just got it out of the same shop Monday after quite a lot of expensive servicing. So, this was a surprise. Turned out some screw lost it thread and the coolant leaked out and, well, drama, which started in the parking lot of a grocery store in Arlington. But, sigh, it ended well.

This week has been interesting. Lost the home heat and hot water Sunday, fixed on Monday. Today, the car. Let's hope thats it for this week.

THE Q&A CAFE

The Q&A Cafe is now in its 21st year. We launched in October 2001 at Nathans in Georgetown as a response to the September 11 terror attacks, and from that initial purpose grew into a weekly community interview lunch, the first "talk show in a bar." When Nathans closed in 2009 we moved to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and since 2015 our home has been The George Town Club. Some 500 notable individuals, from all fields, have appeared for interviews, which are taped and air Fridays on DC Cable. All are welcomed to attend. For reservations: 202-333-9330.
