I have always been a Squirrel Nut Zippers fan, they make some great swing and quickstep music. I just discovered they are good at adapting their music to meet the needs of the day with “Have You Had Enough?” It takes a minute to get to the words of the song, but you’ll like it. […]
Last night Erci took me to the Ian Anderson concert at Wolf Trap. It was amazing. Ian featured Lucia Micarelli on violin, and she got her own standing ovation with her energetic version of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” (Ian and the band and the orchestra played backup).

Last night Erci and I went to see Noche Flamenca at Wolf Trap after a quiet sushi dinner at Hama Sushi (which has become our favorite regular sushi restaurant). The saki and sushi were terrific, and helped Erci calm down from a particularly harrowing day at work (her team is immersed in a sense of […]

Well, I caught the crud that’s going around. I perpetually have stuffed and useless sinuses the last few years, which is a shame because I used to be known for a shockingly keen sense of smell, though certainly not anytime recently. Wednesday morning I awoke at about 3 am with a dry and pasty tongue […]
