Escalators
I've just returned from Washington DC where I attend a conference check out http://www.buzzconference.com/ . It was a great time learning and I'm still digesting all of the info from decoding culture, creating buzz and innovative leadership. Check out host pastor Mark Batterson's blog on the National Community Church's web site about the "spy rules" to get an idea of the sessions, http://www.theaterchurch.com/ .
We used the Metro to get around town all four days and that was quite the experience. Every once and a while I would panic unable to find my fare card or experience that indecision of which train do I need to get on to get to my destination the conference or my hotel. After a day or two I felt like a pro.
However, I can't figure out why people run down and up the escalators. There seemed to be some in a constant hurry to get below ground only to sit and wait for the next train. Maybe they know something I don't.
