I spent my day in D.C. yesterday with two dear high school friends (and a brief cameo by Marie) eating scrapple, uncharacteristically losing at a board game, and walking in snow/sleet conditions without waterproof gear or winter clothes.
(craning necks, squinting eyes, standing on tippy toes to see what the board says about when the next train was coming)
Nish: It'll be here in 6 minutes.
Nick: Or is that 8? Maybe 8 minutes.
Nish: Now I'm seeing 4, or 5.
Moi: Are you guys just saying single digit numbers?
Nick: 7 minutes. No, 3. 9. 14. Yeah, I said 14. It's a single digit number in base 7. That's right. I saw you about to make a snide comment about 14, but I was thinking in base 7.
