We’ve been having a serious drought in the Washington DC area the entire calendar year of 2007. More than a month ago there were reports of wells going dry in Purcelville and Waterford. Maryland and Virginia agriculture has been seriously impacted, everyone except the vineyard owners has seriously reduced crop yields. Governor Kaine called for […]
I do not live in Loudon, but I know lots of people do. I found this article very interesting and it raised the hackles at the back of my neck. Corruption is a scary thing to have in a democracy… Please read and continue asking questions if you vote in Loudon: http://www.loudoundemocrats.org/wp/?p=148. I find the […]
Last night my good friend Kate took me to a Democratic fundraiser for George Barker who is running for State Senate in the 39th district. Becky and David Campbell hosted this event, and the highlight was a visit from Helen Thomas! Helen spoke briefly, and I think I heard her quoting Dick Goodwin (one of […]
I have four essentially brand new (~1800 miles on them) Good Year Eagle Ultra Grip tires available. These are sold as an all season radial, one of the very few that manages to earn Canada’s prestigious “Snowflake on the Mountain” rating for Winter traction. I used them as Winter tires only on my old Saab […]

Yikes! It’s been over a week since the last update… guess we’ve been busy. The inspiration for this update is that Sutragirl and I learned about a new Italian restaurant in Aldie at Stone Ridge shopping center called Ciro. We enjoyed an excellent meal, very good Italian white wine and the best gelato I’ve ever […]
Last night I had lots of fun dancing Salsa-Rueda with Michele’s class at The Ballroom Studio in Centreville. We had two guys more than we had girls, but it was still loads of fun. I also had two excellent lessons with MJ and Dan at Tyson’s Corners Arthur Murray, one solo and one with Erci. […]
So I have been seeing short spots on NewsChannel 8 (DC Area 24 hour news channel, owned by ABC and having a strong moderate conservative tone) that I am not sure are paid advertisements or public service announcements… but I smell a rat. These are short commercials trying to point out the very laudible goal […]
Fall Freestyles, Arthur Murray dance competitions are at Sheraton in Tyson’s Corners this coming Friday night and Saturday. We’ll be there. We are ready for Quickstep, not so ready for West Coast Swing…
