Here’s a picture I took tonight of AnnaLisa and Paul at their adorable house in northwest DC. It’s just behind the Mazza Gallerie, which houses (among other things) a Cheesecake Factory, a Borders Books & Music, and an AMC theater! I wouldn’t ever have money if I lived here! Click for larger

I know very few of the people apt to read this travelblog have ever heard me rant about the GW hippo, donated by Prez Steven Joel Tractenburg to the class of 2000 at my alma mater. Count yourselves lucky. (The story, however, is referenced in my work-in-progress novel! Whee!)   At any rate, for those …

Wow! I swear, in all my life, I never would have thought a post on *gmail* would be the one to give life to an honest-to-goodness *debate*! {shrug} I have clearly misunderestimated! On a related note, I actually — I cannot BELIEVE this — got a gmail invite. Seriously. It came from Allen from Allen. …

If you want to see geeks get all fired up, bring up Gmail. Those who’ve got it shrug with quiet modesty and/or arrogance. Those who don’t immediately begin begging for an invite. I first heard about it from my brother. Then yesterday, I saw three women beg a guy from Canada to invite them to …

Today, I had a yummy down-home family-style lunch at a local place called English’s Family Restaurant. Complete with legendary fried chicken! Here’s a picture, just because I don’t see places that look like this much anymore.
