Don't tell me miracles don't exist. They happen every day, right here in our own District of Columbia. Skeptical? I thought you might be. That's why I've taken the liberty of compiling a few miraculous stories from the beltway and beyond. The Greater DC area is chock full of every day miracles, you just need to know where to find them. Miracle at: Macy's at Tysons Corner, VA My friend, John M, went shopping at Tyson's I last week. A notorious non-shopper, John wasn't looking forward to... Read Full Story
A few weeks ago, I went kayaking with a couple friends at Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown. I couldn't recommend the activity more highly; kayaking on the Potomac on a clear, sunny day is truly an unparalleled experience. The views from the water are amazing, it's good exercise while still being great fun and it's nothing if not a cheap thrill. A single kayak rents for a mere $8 an hour and $24 for an entire day. Plus, the feeling you get from commandeering your own kayak is akin to being... Read Full Story
No, I'm not lying... the 17-year cycle cicadas are unearthing on the East Coast this summer. I'm so not a fan of these little suckers...so not fab . And in honor of their return to the DMV, here's a little short story I wrote years ago (I used to keep a diary) about my cicada encounter four years ago when the 13-year cycle suckers were in town: (Photo Credit: Ron Edmonds/AP) Cicada Madness June 03, 2004 1:54 p.m. So yesterday I felt like I was being attacked by cicadas. I'm ALWAYS attacked... Read Full Story
Is it bad that I'm in this meeting but still thinking what should I recap on my blog...::sigh::... Anyway, last Thursday after another full day at work my coworker Chelley and I decided to head to U Street for some after-work chillen out. Busboys and Poets (2021 14th Street) is the perfect spot if you want post-work coffee, cocktails or eats. It's located in one of our favorite neighborhoods and footsteps down from another great spot Marvins . (Photo credit: Susana Raals) This funky spot is... Read Full Story
There is no secret that when you want a real get back to your roots, great meal that you go someplace where you can always find the same guy calling out your order to a staff of worker bees. That place is Market Lunch in Eastern Market. That guy calling out your order to his crew is Tom Glassgow and he is always pumped up and rightfully so. He knows his stuff, from his always spot on recommendations of the fish sandwich of the day to his great back and forth with all the customers, he and... Read Full Story
If you have read more than one or two of my columns, you've already sorted out that I'm no student of serious journalism. Certainly I can string sentences together fairly well and I'm also quite proficient in the art of spell-check. I write in what's been described by people who owe me money as a "light hearted" and "enjoyably readable" style, but if I was challenged with writing a serious piece of journalistic work on any subject, you may have a long wait. I have no doubt I could deliver... Read Full Story
