happiness? like reading a good book? I lived that dream..

In 1989, on a high school trip to Washington DC called CloseUp I got lost one day.

I was wondering the White House which was open to the public at that time. And saw a downstairs stairs case which I took.  I ended up in the underground basement where the kitchen was.

For 3.75 I ate a sandwich and watched as people ran in and out as a busy bees and ants going back and forth.  I proceeded to following another person out and into the underground chambers which had small drain like cats for at least one senator and some other people that I do not recall.

At some point during my wandering I got behind a group that some reason included me into their conversation.

Like a kid, I climbed a paralyzingly stair case with them into the library of Congress meeting room.  http://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/borgesaleph.pdf

There were I believe 15 people there.  Awkward to say.  I listened to them call a meeting in order for the Bookworm Club.  Story continued in a different reality at a different time..
