Damn! It is horribly humid. I've been to 3 Stone Street and dealt with the MTA folk, and I've. arrived at Toyland with my new Senior Citizen Metrocard, good until 2014.
Nothing's changed here, and since status quo at Toyland is a good thing, I can leave it with a clear conscience.
I've been in touch with my favorite librarians, Loras and Mark, and I guess my DC trip is on schedule.
