Incidentally, your colleague's observation was correct: you are *much* more relaxed than you've been in my previous encounters with you! Possibly some of that was due to tiredness, but mostly I think this new job is good for you. Yay! :) It was great to see you again. :) :) :)
Next time you're in DC (make a note of this), there's a small used book store in Dupont Circle called "Second Story." I found a two-volume 1902 edition of a history of the Netherlands for $50. Written by a professor at one of the myriad Dutch universities, translated into English.
It was interesting for me, as a late-20th century individual, to read about the historic fraternal ties between the divers Germanies and the Northern Low Countries. Not all that surprising, though, since I did live in Limburg for 15 years. :)

But yeah, there are some real gems in that place.
