OK, as I may have mentioned before, I do not work for a theme park. I have never worked for a theme park; I doubt I'll ever work for a theme park.

I work in an office building. I have to wear a tie. But some might argue that the city where I work is one of the biggest theme parks in America.

So today is one of the nicest days we've had here for a while, and I decide to take a break and take a walk outside. I'm on the way back to my office, when a woman stops me and asks, "excuse me, do you know where I am?"

I blink, pause, and then remember the spirit of this web site and answer truthfully, "Washington D.C."

Her next question is, "well, what is there to see around here?" She has a freaking map in her hand and I'm in front of an office building!

Tourists are the same EVERYWHERE!
