Yikes! Local news channels are all predicting that today, tomorrow, and Thursday will have peak temperatures of 99 or 100 F, with heat index of over 110 for the greater Washington DC area. Icky, sticky. This is one of the reasons we moved out to the woods where we could have a pool and be […]
Couldn’t resist… the devil (prehensile-wit) made me do it… You can misbehave yourself by visiting churchsigngenerator. We all “aim to misbehave” don’t we?
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). She played along with Ian through several re-arranged classical […]
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 […]
Yesterday Erci accompanied me over to Atelier de la Charrette to help Bob and Peter, Winterbadger, and Bryan test a game of “VSF: Actions at Parroom Station” before Bob goes to Historicon to expose more steam punk fans and miniatures gamers to the allure of the Martian landscape. We arrived a little bit late and […]
Last night sutragirl and I went up to Baltimore with Becca and Khoa to have dinner and see the Cirque du Soleil live music concert called Delirium. Traffic was bad on I-95 because of an accident at MD-198, so we diverted to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, which was very busy and moving slowly. We ended up […]
Last night we went and saw the musical Chicago at Wolf Trap, it was very well done. I have sympathy for the performers and musicians for having to perform in the beastly heat and humidity (by opening number it had cooled down to 85F, but was still close to 90% humidity). The buffet at Ovations […]
Sunday night was perfect weather for stretching out on the lawn at Wolf Trap and seeing the Gypsy Kings concert with a bunch of good friends. Lovely night, nearly full moon, great music and friends…
Erci and I finally made the long trek in to Arlington (Rosslyn/Courthouse) to do some volunteer work for the Webb for Senate Campaign (phone bank for more volunteers and fixing a spreadsheet problem). It was a lot of fun, and we met fabulous people (Bruce & Beth: Sarah says “Hello”). I made about 200 calls, […]
Sutragirl has written about last night’s trip back from Spamalot in DC already, so that’s where you should go if you want to hear more about the flooding on Constitution Avenue. People made it home safely, though Ruth and her girls had a long, segmented trip after their van got stuck in the flood. We […]
